Lower brown adipose tissue activity is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease but not changes in the gut microbiota

Summary: In rodents, lower brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity is associated with greater liver steatosis and changes in the gut microbiome. However, little is known about these relationships in humans. In adults (n = 60), we assessed hepatic fat and cold-stimulated BAT activity using magnetic reson...
