Recent basic research on the functioning of brown fat, a heat-producing tissue, has been fitted together with research on obesity to provide an exciting and challenging new approach to the study of the cause of obesity and could serve as a starting point for the development of new modes of treatment. Recent studies on brown adipose tissue have shown that a defect in this tissue is one probable cause of obesity.
