Summary Introduction
To review:
The function of brown fat and the relation between its mechanism and the effects ATP (adenosine triphosphate) concentration exert on the cell respiration rate.
Introduction:
Brown fat is also known as brown adipose tissue. The main function of brown fat is heat production. In adults, brown adipose tissue is present below the neck and around the kidneys. Brown fat is abundant in small mammals and children as compared to adults.
