Relationships among BAT, lipid concentrations, kinetics

(A) Relationship between BAT volume and plasma palmitate concentration.

(B) Relationship between BAT volume and plasma FFA concentration.

(C) Relationship between BAT volume and palmitate clearance rate.

(D) Relationship between BAT volume and VLDL-TG concentration.

(E) Relationship between BAT volume and plasma TG concentration.

(F) Relationship between BAT volume and VLTG clearance rate.

(G) Heatmap depicting the interrelationships between BAT volume and activity and lipid concentrations and kinetics.

BAT, brown adipose tissue; BATLBM, BAT normalized to lean body mass; HBAT, high-BAT group, BAT volume ≥20 mL; LBAT, low-BAT group, BAT volume <20 mL; FFA, free fatty acids, Ra, rate of appearance; SUV, standardized uptake value; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein, TG, triglycerides. p values were determined by using Pearson’s r for normally distributed data and Spearman’s rho for skewed data. ∗p < 0.05 and ∗∗p < 0.01.
