What benefits do scientists think might result from increasing the amount of brown fat in people who are obese or who have type 2 diabetes? -Such people might benefit from a higher proportion of brown to white fat, which would reduce the amount of stored fat. -Brown fat stores more calories than white fat and does not "bulk up" the way white fat does, so people's appearances would improve. -Because brown fat is more efficient metabolically at making ATP, it could be a good alternate source of fuel for such people. -Brown fat weighs less than white fat, so increasing its amount would be equivalent to losing weight. -Brown fat is added during exercise, so it would be a good indicator of people's exercise levels.
