A New Personalized Cooling Protocol to Activate Brown Adipose Tissue in Young Adults

A New Personalized Cooling Protocol to Activate Brown Adipose Tissue in Young Adults

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity is induced when humans are exposed to cold. Therefore, cold exposure prior to the 18F-FDG-PET/CT scan is used as a tool to quantify BAT. Several cooling protocols, including fixed and personalized ones are currently in use. The aim of the present study was to dete...
