Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Brown adipose tissue, or brown fat, is one of two types of fat that humans and other mammals have. Its main function is to turn food into body heat. It is sometimes called “good” fat. Human newborns and hibernating mammals have high levels of brown fat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, also known as brown fat, is mostly present during fetal life and in infants.
Detailed explanation-3: -The function of brown adipose tissue is to transfer energy from food into heat; physiologically, both the heat produced and the resulting decrease in metabolic efficiency can be of significance.
