Clinical trials: Brown Fat
Neonatal Hypothermia, Brown Adipose Tissue
Investigation of the Mechanisms of the Tendency to Hypothermia in Newborns and Premature Neonates
Newborns have thermoregulatory mechanisms that differ from those of adults. Instead of producing heat through shivering, newborns primarily rely on non-shivering thermogenesis by the brown adipose tissue.

- Trial name
- NCT06803069
