Descriptor Spanish: Tejido Adiposo Pardo
Descriptor grasa parda
Entry term(s) tejido adiposo marrón
Scope note: Forma termogénica de tejido adiposo, constituido por ADIPOCITOS MARRONES. Se encuentra en los recién nacidos de numerosas especies, incluidos los seres humanos. La grasa parda posee una rica vascularización e inervación y numerosas MITOCONDRIAS que generan calor directamente a partir de los lípidos almacenados.
