In young men at 25 degrees C, quantitative IR-thermography showed that fasting values of skin temperatures over suspected areas of brown adipose tissue (BAT) were higher than where no BAT is thought to occur. However, at 30 min and again at 60-90 min after a meal of 2.5 MJ, the magnitude of the increase in skin temperature was similar in areas with or without suspected BAT. In conclusion, either thermography was unable to detect the activation of BAT, or the meal did not stimulate heat production in the sites of suspected BAT.
在25摄氏度环境下的年轻男性中，定量红外热成像显示，褐色脂肪组织（BAT）疑似区域上方皮肤温度的空腹值高于被认为不存在BAT的区域。然而，在摄入2.5兆焦耳热量的一餐之后30分钟以及再次在60 - 90分钟时，有或没有疑似BAT区域的皮肤温度升高幅度相似。总之，要么热成像无法检测到BAT的激活，要么这餐并未刺激疑似BAT部位的产热。
