Abstract
In contrast to the case in mice, where thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue is mediated via the beta3-adrenergic receptor, it has been suggested that in humans, it is mediated through the beta2-adrenergic receptor. A new study in humans sees thermogenesis through beta2 stimulation-but not in brown adipose tissue.
