Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is involved in the regulation of whole-body energy expenditure and adiposity. The activity and prevalence of BAT decrease with age in humans.
Objective:
To examine the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the genes for uncoupling protein 1 (
UCP1
) and β3-adrenergic receptor (
β3AR
