Overpotential-derived thermogenesis in mitochondrial respiratory chain [PDF]

Thermogenesis, which is associated with intracellular aerobic respiration, is a fundamental function that controls the internal temperatures of living organisms. Proton leakage is considered to be correlated with thermogenesis through aerobic respiration.

Advances in the Protective Effects and Mechanisms of β‐Aminoisobutyric Acid in Maintaining Multi‐Organ Homeostasis

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT β‐Aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is an exercise‐responsive myokine/metabolite released by skeletal muscle and has attracted increasing interest as a potential exercise mimetic and therapeutic candidate in preclinical research. BAIBA acts locally in skeletal muscle and can also reach distal organs through the circulation, contributing to the ...

Stress-induced activation of brown adipose tissue prevents obesity in conditions of low adaptive thermogenesis

Molecular Metabolism, 2016
Background: Stress-associated conditions such as psychoemotional reactivity and depression have been paradoxically linked to either weight gain or weight loss. This bi-directional effect of stress is not understood at the functional level. Here we tested

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Adaptive thermogenesis and uncoupling proteins: a reappraisal of their roles in fat metabolism and energy balance.

, 2004
After decades of controversies about the quantitative importance of autoregulatory adjustments in energy expenditure in weight regulation, there is now increasing recognition that even subtle variations in thermogenesis could, in dynamic systems and over

Torpor‐assisted migration: Regular use of shallow torpor reduces rest‐phase energy expenditure for songbirds during migration

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

Adaptive Changes in the Thermogenesis of Rats by Cold Acclimation and Deacclimation.

The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1998
Male Wistar rats, aged 6 weeks, were maintained at 25 degreesC for 9 to 11 weeks (W group), at 10 degreesC for 9 to 11 weeks (C group), and at 25 degreesC for 2 weeks after exposure to 10 degreesC for 9 weeks (D group). Thermogenesis at 10 degreesC was significantly greater than at 25 degreesC.

Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Gut Microbiota of Gray Snub‐Nosed Monkeys: Adaptation to Seasonal Variations Through Energy Compensation and Thermogenesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.
