Key result
Brown adipose tissue dissipates energy as heat and is associated with lower body weight, making its stimulation a potential target for treating age-related obesity.
Stimulation of brown adipose tissue may be an attractive novel candidate target for the treatment of age-related obesity.

May support BAT stimulation for age-related obesity; leaves open confirmation of efficacy and safety in randomized trials.
Saely et al. (2010) conducted a review in Obesity. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) vs. White adipose tissue (WAT) was evaluated. Brown adipose tissue dissipates energy as heat and is associated with lower body weight, making its stimulation a potential target for treating age-related obesity.
