    Recruited brown adipose tissue as an antiobesity agent in humans

    Yoneshiro T, et al

    Published in J Clin Invest

    Key Findings

    Six weeks of daily cold exposure or capsinoid ingestion increased cold-induced thermogenesis even in adults with low baseline BAT activity.

    Conclusions

    Human BAT and cold-induced thermogenesis can be recruited by cold or capsinoids.

    Limitations

    Small samples; surrogate energy expenditure endpoints.

    Supplements Studied

    Daily ingestion of capsinoids for 6 weeks increased CIT, demonstrating that human BAT can be recruited by dietary thermogenic compounds.

    Outcomes Measured

    Cold Tolerance

    Daily ingestion of capsinoids for 6 weeks increased CIT. Human BAT can be recruited even in individuals with decreased BAT activity.
