Seasonal differences in brown adipose tissue density and pulse rate variability in a thermoneutral environment

Seasonal differences in brown adipose tissue density and pulse rate variability in a thermoneutral environment

Abstract Background Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is sympathetically activated and induces thermogenesis during cold exposure, thereby influencing energy expenditure and body fat levels. The very low frequency (VLF) components of pulse rate variability could be a form of thermogenic sympathetic nervous...
