Brown fat, conversely, contains both smaller droplets and high amounts of mitochondria, which lend the tissue its chestnut color. Mitochondria, the body’s power plants, use these fatty droplets to generate heat. The tissue helps newborn infants — who lack the insulation provided by body hair and haven’t yet learned how to shiver — regulate their body temperature.
