Обзор посвящен изучению бурой жировой ткани у взрослых людей в свете обновленного научного интереса и растущего объема доказательств, что обновление и активация этой ткани может вызвать энергетический расход и в будущем играть значительную роль в лечении метаболических заболеваний.

The review is devoted to the study of brown adipose tissue in adults in the light of renewed scientific interest and the growing body of evidence that renewal and activation of this tissue can cause energy expenditure and play a significant role in the treatment of metabolic diseases in the future.
