Abstract
A case of verification of active brown adipose tissue in a 40-year-old patient, a professional hunter resident of the Arctic ulus of Yakutia, is described. The real brown adipose tissue was detected in samples of adipose tissue from the paranephral fiber. Adipose tissue samples showed high immunoreactivity to the activity marker of this tissue - mitochondrial protein UCP1.
