For the past decade, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been extensively studied as a
potential therapy for obesity and metabolic diseases due to its thermogenic and glucose-
consuming properties. It is now clear that the function of BAT goes beyond heat production,
as it also plays an important endocrine role by secreting the so-called batokines to
communicate with other metabolic tissues and regulate systemic energy homeostasis.
However, despite numerous studies showing the benefits of BAT in rodents, it is still not …
