Brown Adipose Fat

Tests showed that the brown fat transplants were burning caloric energy at a high rate -- energy that otherwise would have been stored as fat in white adipose tissue.

这一实验显示，棕色脂肪移植物能够以极高的效率燃烧卡路里，这些卡路里如果不被燃烧就会转变为白色脂肪组织进行储存。

Based on his findings, Herzig believes that brown fat may originate from a mother cell of adipose tissue that by default tends to make white fat.

根据他的调查结果，赫齐格认为，棕色脂肪可能源自脂肪组织母细胞，默认情况下产生白色脂肪。

With this switch in hand, the scientists showed they could manipulate it to force other types of cells in the laboratory to produce brown fat, known as Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT).

科学家成功在实验室内应用这种转化使其他类型的细胞制造棕色脂肪，即通常所说的棕色脂肪组织（BAT）。
