Regulation of glycolysis in brown adipocytes by HIF-1α [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Brown adipose tissue takes up large amounts of glucose during cold exposure in mice and humans. Here we report an induction of glucose transporter 1 expression and increased expression of several glycolytic enzymes in brown adipose tissue from cold ...

Effects of glucocorticoids on human brown adipocytes [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2014 Clinical cases of glucocorticoid (GC) excess are characterized by increased fat mass and obesity through the accumulation of white adipocytes. The effects of GCs on growth and function of brown adipose tissue are unknown and may contribute to the negative energy balance observed clinically. This study aims to evaluate the effect of GCs on proliferation,

Mitochondria in White, Brown, and Beige Adipocytes [PDF]
Stem Cells International, 2016 Mitochondria play a key role in energy metabolism in many tissues, including cardiac and skeletal muscle, brain, liver, and adipose tissue. Three types of adipose depots can be identified in mammals, commonly classified according to their colour appearance: the white (WAT), the brown (BAT), and the beige/brite/brown‐like (bAT) adipose tissues.

PAT2 regulates vATPase assembly and lysosomal acidification in brown adipocytes [PDF]
Molecular Metabolism, 2022 Objective: Brown adipocytes play a key role in maintaining body temperature as well as glucose and lipid homeostasis. However, brown adipocytes need to adapt their thermogenic activity and substrate utilization to changes in nutrient availability ...

Intrinsic Properties of Brown and White Adipocytes Have Differential Effects on Macrophage Inflammatory Responses [PDF]
Mediators of Inflammation, 2017 Obesity is marked by chronic, low-grade inflammation. Here, we examined whether intrinsic differences between white and brown adipocytes influence the inflammatory status of macrophages.

Recent insights into the molecular mechanisms of simultaneous fatty acid oxidation and synthesis in brown adipocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 Brown adipocytes is a specialized fat cell that dissipates nutrient-derived chemical energy in the form of heat, instead of ATP synthesis. This unique feature provides a marked capacity for brown adipocyte mitochondria to oxidize substrates independent ...

Stress-inducible IL-6 is regulated by KLF7 in brown adipocytes
Heliyon, 2023 Stress-inducible interleukin 6 (IL-6) is generated in brown adipocytes via beta-3 adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) signaling, which is necessary in stress hyperglycemia, the kind of metabolic adaptation enabling “fight or flight” response by means of liver ...
