Read More »Brown fat, also called brown adipose tissue, helps maintain your body temperature when you get too cold. It’s the same fat that bears use to stay warm when they hibernate. Babies are born with a lot of brown fat behind their shoulder blades. Newborns can’t shiver, which is one of the ways the body creates heat. Brown fat acts as a built-in heater. You lose most of it as you get older and form a shiver response to cold temperatures. Brown Fat vs. White Fat You have two main types of fat. White fat builds up when you take in extra calories. White fat stores these extra calories to use when you don’t get enough energy from food. Most of the fat in your body is white fat. You typically store it in your thighs, hips, and stomach. Too much white fat in your belly can raise your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Brown fat and white fat are made of different things. White fat is made of big droplets of lipids, or fatty acids. Cells in brown fat are packed with mitochondria. Mitochondria are rich in iron, which gives brown fat its color. They’re the heart of your cells. They take in nutrients like sugar and white fat and break them down to make energy. Brown fat stores more energy in a smaller space than white fat does. How It Works When your body gets cold, it makes a hormone called norepinephrine. Brown fat has receptors for norepinephrine. When these receptors sense the hormone, they signal the many mitochondria to start churning out energy. This creates the warmth that helps you maintain your body temperature. Although you lose most of your brown fat as you grow, you hold on to some of it. Adults have very small amounts of brown fat in the neck, collarbone, kidneys, and spinal cord. Lean people typically have more brown fat than overweight people. Women also tend to have more than men.
