 note = {The prevalence of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the periadrenal adipose tissue was studied in 20 autopsy cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In 19 of 20 cases, the periadrenal BAT in focal or diffuse distribution was observed. Histometry of BAT revealed average occupancy rates of 21.6% and 4.2% in ALS and age-matched control cases, respectively (p<0.01). Since emaciation and chronic hypoxia in those ALS patients were most likely related to severe muscle wasting and respiratory involvement, it is speculated that an increase in BAT occupancy rates may be secondary to altered thermogenesis which was augmented by chronic hypoxia., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 36(2). p43-49, 1994},
