棕色脂肪與營養素
最常見的為白色脂肪,多分布在內臟脂肪、皮下脂肪,能夠將人體多餘的熱量轉化為脂肪儲存,進行保護臟器、調節生理功能,而米色脂肪是由白色脂肪經褐變所產生,同為調節體溫的因素之一(Shabalina IG, 2013; Rui L, 2017)。棕色脂肪主要分布於鎖骨、脖子、脊椎附近,但隨著年齡增長,棕色脂肪存量會隨之降低,藉由(FDG-PET-CT)正子斷層儀器掃描,棕色脂肪組織於成年人體內僅有50-80公克(Vivian et al, 2014),但因其具有大量的粒線體及第一型非偶合蛋白(UCP-1),能快速燃燒脂肪用以產生熱能,維持人體體溫恆定。
棕色脂肪組織的活性主要由交感神經調控(Evie B. et al.,2015),交感神經末梢進入棕色脂肪,會增加分泌正腎上腺素(norepinephrine),並刺激細胞分解脂肪轉化成熱量,調節內臟和肌肉因應內外環境、溫度的變化。近年來,發表於《The New England journal of medicine》、《nature》等期刊的研究顯示,氣溫降低時,棕色脂肪組織的活性會升高(Martin E.L. & Sven E., 2010; Virtanen, K. A. et al. 2009; Lucas J.F. et al.,2020)。
