A cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors linked to adaptive thermogenesis.
Adaptive thermogenesis is an important component of energy homeostasis and a metabolic defense against obesity. We have cloned a novel transcriptional coactivator of nuclear receptors, termed PGC-1, from a brown fat cDNA library. PGC-1 mRNA expression is

Isoenergetic feeding of low carbohydrate-high fat diets does not increase brown adipose tissue thermogenic capacity in rats [PDF]
Low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LC-HF) diets are popular for inducing weight loss in overweighed adults. Adaptive thermogenesis increased by specific effects of macronutrients on energy expenditure has been postulated to induce this weight loss.

Energy expenditure during overfeeding
The large inter-individual variation in weight gain during standardized overfeeding together with a weight gain that is often less than theoretically calculated from the energy excess suggest that there are differences between persons in the capacity to ...

Regulation of Brown and White Adipocyte Transcriptome by the Transcriptional Coactivator NT-PGC-1α. [PDF]
The β3-adrenergic receptor (AR) signaling pathway is a major component of adaptive thermogenesis in brown and white adipose tissue during cold acclimation.

Does adaptive thermogenesis occur after weight loss in adults? A systematic review
Adaptive thermogenesis (AT) has been proposed to be a compensatory response that may resist weight loss (WL) and promote weight regain. This systematic review examined the existence of AT in adults after a period of negative energy balance (EB) with or ...

Adaptive thermogenesis: Turning on the heat [PDF]
Brown adipocytes play important roles in the regulation of fat storage and body temperature, by virtue of their ability to uncouple mitochondrial fuel oxidation and ATP synthesis. The discovery of a tissue-specific transcriptional coactivator provides new insights into the regulation of thermogenesis by brown adipocytes.

AMPK in the Ventromedial Nucleus of the Hypothalamus: A Key Regulator for Thermogenesis
Obesity has become a global health issue, but effective therapies remain very limited. Adaptive thermogenesis promotes weight loss by dissipating energy in the form of heat, thereby representing a promising target to counteract obesity.

MnSOD serves as the central molecule in adaptive thermogenesis (MnSOD functions as a thermoreceptor)
MnSOD catalyzes superoxide dismutation via temperature-dependent 'fast cycle' and 'slow cycle' pathways. Higher temperature promotes the formation of the product inhibition complexes, and the slow cycle pathway becomes mainstream in the overall ...

Brown adipocyte ATF4 activation improves thermoregulation and systemic metabolism
Summary: Cold-induced thermogenesis in endotherms demands adaptive thermogenesis fueled by mitochondrial respiration and Ucp1-mediated uncoupling in multilocular brown adipocytes (BAs).
