The originally published version of this Article contained an error in Fig. 2. In panel g, the image of brown adipose tissue from SCD-fed Tph1 GKO mice (top-right) was inadvertently replaced with the equivalent image of SCD-fed WT mice (top-left) during assembly of the figure. This error has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
