Brown adipose tissue: thermic response increased by a single low protein, high carbohydrate meal

Z Glick, RJ Teague, and GA Bray

The weight of interscapular brown fat in the rat and its rate of respiration increased in response to a single meal. These data suggest that brown adipose tissue plays a role in the thermic effect of meals and that diet-induced thermogenesis may reflect the summation of the thermic effects of single meals during prolonged overeating.
