Based on its unique thermogenic capacity, brown adipose
tissue (BAT) shows very high potential to serve as a
therapeutic node in the treatment of metabolic
disorders, e.g., obesity. Recently, the BOLD effect
T2*-weighted MRI during cold stimulation was used to
detect cold-activated BAT in human individuals [1]. In
this work, we compared 14 T NMR spectra and, for the
first time, water fat fraction (WFF) [2], T1, T2 values
measured in vitro by 7 T MRI between BAT, inguinal white
adipose tissue (iWAT) and abdominal white adipose tissue
(aWAT) in cold-stimulated mice and normal mice.
