Beige fat cells have features midway between white and brown. They come from white parent cells, but function like brown fat cells by burning energy to produce heat when the core body temperature ...

Not all fat acts equally. It’s been established that brown fat can burn energy and generate heat, while white fat is far more common, and can store energy and release hormones. It’s been suggested ...

Fat Chance: Brown Vs. White Fat Cell Specification Date: May 14, 2008 Source: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Summary: Scientists elucidate the molecular pathway that induces cells to become energy ...

Cold weather triggers brown fat to burn energy, thanks to a newly discovered protein switch. This natural calorie-burning ...

Brown fat cells, unlike white, generate heat to keep us warm. That’s particularly useful if you are a baby and you can’t shiver to keep yourself from getting too cold.

Most of our body’s fat cells are white (we lose much of our brown fat by the time we turn 1), and these cells are important as a secondary or emergency source of energy.
