To read the full abstract: Cell Metab. 2018, 27, 689-701The gold standard for the determination of BAT activity is the measurement of glucose uptake upon cold exposure using [18F]-FDG PET/CT. However, due to the use of ionizing radiation, this technique cannot be used repeatedly in longitudinal studies in humans. Alternatively, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared fluorescence ...
