Protocol for the injection of adenoviruses into brown adipose tissue in mice.

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) represents a specialized form of adipose tissue that has attracted much attention in the search for therapeutic interventions to treat obesity and its related metabolic disorders. Here, we present a protocol to modulate BAT metabolism in vivo in mice via the direct administration of adenovirus (Ad). We also describe steps for the delivery of postoperative care, including the administration of analgesics and the application of antiseptics to the surgical site to prevent potential infections. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Al-Massadi et al.1.
