It is found in newborns of many species including humans, and in hibernating mammals. Brown fat is richly vascularized, innervated, and densely packed with MITOCHONDRIA which can generate heat directly from the stored lipids.,FMA: Adipose tissue, cells of which contain multiple small lipid droplets.,UWDA: Adipose tissue, cells of which contain multiple small lipid droplets.,NCI: Brown-colored adipose tissue that contains numerous small droplets of lipids and high numbers of mitochondria as its primary function is to generate body heat.,NCI: Brown-colored adipose tissue that is present in higher concentrations in n | lld:umls |
