This paper introduces a method of temperature measurement of brown adipose cells using near-infrared spectroscopy. The measurement principle is based on the fact that the peak wavelength of the water absorption band with its center near 1910nm shifts with changes in temperature. We developed a measurement system for temperature changes of brown adipose cells cultured on a 60-mm-dish. To induce the heat production of the brown adipose cells, norepinephrine was added to the culture solution during measurement. Irregular changes of absorption coefficient at 1908nm were observed after the norepinephrine administration. However, the relationship between these changes and temperature has not been clear.
