Brown adipose tissue volume and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake are not associated with energy intake in young human adults

Several studies have explored the role of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) in energy expenditure. However, the link between BAT and appetite regulation needs to be more rigorously examined. We aimed to investigate the associations of BAT volume and 18F-fluordeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake after a personalized cold exposure with energy intake and appetite-related sensations in young healthy humans. A total of 102 young adults (65 women; age: 22.08...
