Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is the primary site of adaptive thermogenesis, which may play a potential role in the pathogenesis and treatment of obesity, and related metabolic disorders. The purpose of this study is to use Dixon MRI to measure BAT tissue properties under pre-cold, post-cold individualized non-shivering thermogenesis, and re-warm-up conditions, in order to evaluate BAT activity among normal-weight, over-weight and obese subjects.
