摘要：
Thyroid hormones increase the energy metabolism of the body in a process called 'thyroid thermogenesis'. Its molecular mechanism, however, has been elusive. Recent findings in rats suggest that it is localized to brown adipose tissue—our one truly thermogenic organ—and is mediated via the brain (pages 1001–1008).
