To warm the body
Brown fat, or brown adipose tissue, is specialized for thermogenesis, generating heat to help maintain body temperature, especially in cold conditions. In contrast, white fat, or white adipose tissue, primarily serves as an energy reserve, storing excess nutrients in the form of triglycerides. While brown fat is more metabolically active and contributes to energy expenditure, white fat plays a critical role in energy balance and insulation. Together, they help regulate body weight and temperature.
The difference between them is that white fat is found in adults and brown fat is found in children.
Heat production in the absence of shivering is called nonshivering thermogenesis. This is the major function of brown adipose tissue (brown fat). (Human Physiology 12th edition Stuart Ira Fox <p667>)
The Brown Fat Revolution Diet explains the benefit of brown fat and how to activate it to accelerate weight loss. According to the author, humans are born with more brown fat than yellow fat. Brown fat accelerates the fat burning rate. As you age, the ratio of fat switches in favor of yellow fat. This causes weight gain, flabby skin and wrinkles. To overcome this, dieters must alternate between carbs and proteins to suppress the appetite, control blood sugar and reduce fat production. Six small daily meals will keep the metabolism balanced and convert yellow fat to brown fat.
Brown fat
because it contains a lot of mitochondria rich in the pigmented chemical cytochrome which is responsible for the name brown fat
Fat is burned into carbohydrates yes.
White fat is found in adults, and brown fat is found in infants. (this theory is obsolete now.in the April publication of the New England Journal of Medicine, not one, but THREE independent labs proved the existence of brown fat in adults)Differences between brown fat and white fat are :Brown fat deposits around vital internal organs and along back and sternum.while white fat is found under skin.Brown fat cells have mitochondria, hence it is metabolically active. While white fat is not.Brown fat can generate ATP hence it can generate heat. White fat can`t.*note white fat cannot generate heat but it does insulate the body which helps to keep the body temperature at a steady level
brown fat is a healthier version of typical fat, which makes up a large part of the body. Some of it is made from the brown adipocytes (also called fat cells) that originated from muscle cells, while others are converted from white fat. This converted brown fat can be made from the unhealthy white fat that makes a person look obese. There are many products for weight loss using brown fat converting Look to my BIO

yes babies have brown fat. For non shivering thermogenesis.Babies cannot shiver to produce heat which they compensate for with their brown fat that has a huge amount of mitochondria. This enables them to generate heat internally.
Yes, brown fat is commonly deposited between the shoulder blades of infants. Brown fat helps infants regulate their body temperature as they have a limited ability to shiver to produce heat. Over time, as infants grow and develop, the amount of brown fat decreases.
