RIP140 represses the “Brown-in-White” adipocyte program including a futile cycle of triacyclglycerol breakdown and synthesis [PDF]
Receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) is a corepressor of nuclear receptors that is highly expressed in adipose tissues. We investigated the role of RIP140 in conditionally immortal preadipocyte cell lines prepared from white or brown fat depots.

Diet-Induced Adipocyte Browning [PDF]
The adipocyte browning process is a phenomenon that consists in the molecular and morphological remodeling of preadipocytes or mature white adipocytes into multilocular beige fat cells expressing thermogenesis-associated genes.

Depletion of Nsd2-mediated histone H3K36 methylation impairs adipose tissue development and function
The epigenetic mechanisms regulating adipose tissue development are poorly understood. Here the authors show that reduction of H3K36 methylation in preadipocytes, both by H3.3K36M expression and depletion of H3K36 methyltransferase Nsd2, impairs ...

Adipocytes are the main constituent of adipose tissue and are considered to be a corner stone in the homeostatic control of whole body metabolism. Their primary function is to control energy balance by storing triacylglycerol in periods of energy excess and mobilizing it during energy deprivation.

New insights into adipocyte-specific leptin gene expression [PDF]
The adipocyte-derived hormone leptin is a critical regulator of many physiological functions, ranging from satiety to immunity. Surprisingly, very little is known about the transcriptional pathways that regulate adipocyte-specific expression of leptin ...

Brown fat expresses two PGC-1α isoforms (PGC-1α and NT-PGC-1α) and both play a central role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism and adaptive thermogenesis by interacting with a wide range of transcription factors including PPARγ, PPARα, ERRα,

Methods for assessing adipocyte thermogenesis
Assessing various methods to observe and measure thermal production in mitochondria of brown adipocyte tissue. For the prevention and treatment of obesity and associated metabolic diseases, scientists are studying and discovering how activation of ...

Adipocyte Secretome Increases Radioresistance of Malignant Melanocytes by Improving Cell Survival and Decreasing Oxidative Status [PDF]
Radiotherapy is a treatment option for the majority of malignancies. However, because melanoma is known to be radioresistant, the use of ionizing radiation as an adjuvant therapy in cutaneous melanoma patients is ineffective.

When Ron Landes approached me last summer with the idea to launch a journal dedicated to adipose tissue research, it resonated immediately; I loved the idea. Thus, it is with great pleasure that we launch Adipocyte, the first international peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary journal to focus exclusively on research covering all aspects of adipose tissue ...
