...For example, cold-induced thermogenesis was reported to be proportional to BAT perfusion (110) and activity (15, 49), even after adjusting for potential confounding factors (111)....

...When stimulated by such external cues, beige adipocytes express UCP1 protein at a similar level to classical brown adipocytes and exhibit UCP1-dependent thermogenic capacity (25, 26)....

...On the other hand, BAT in the supraclavicular regions of infants and in adult humans expresses high levels of beige adipocyte-enriched genes, including Tbx1, Cd137, Tmem26, and Cited1 (26, 27, 45)....

...Beige adipocytes express several markers, including Ucp1, Pgc1a, and Cidea, and beige-selective markers, such as Cd137, Tbx1, Tmed26, and Cited1....

...Cellular identity of adult human BAT — is human BAT recruitable? Recent studies have identified several genes that are preferentially expressed either in classical brown adipocytes or in beige adipocytes in rodents (26, 39, 45, 46)....
