Glycerokinase activity in human brown adipose tissue
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) Skin Care is known to be responsible for heat production in newborn and adult hibernating mammals.In rats and mice, BAT has been demonstrated to possess a much higher glycerokinase activity than white adipose tissue (WAT).It has been speculated that this high activity may cause the futile cycle of triglyceride breakdown a
