    Hi Guys, sorry to bring up an older topic but we wanted to shed some light on this thread as it does not appear to be fully answered.

    Brown Adipose Tissue can be found in the neck, supraclavicular region, chest and abdomen under PET-CT scans only after subjects have been exposed to mild cold exposure according to an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine (http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa0808718).

    If you haven't read the Harvard Medical School study where they put a 14°C cooling vest up against the weight loss drug Ephridine you should take a read http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22665804

    If we can help out at all on this topic, please let us know!
