Serotonin prevents differentiation into brown adipocytes and induces transdifferentiation into white adipocytes

International Journal of Obesity, 2017
Serotonin is synthesized by many cells in the periphery to affect vasoconstriction, intestinal motility, and glucose and lipid metabolism. It has recently been shown that serotonin leads to fat accumulation in white adipose tissue (WAT). However, the direct effect of serotonin on brown adipose tissue differentiation and metabolism is limited. Therefore,

Proteomic differences between white and brown adipocytes

Amino Acids, 2014
Although a series of protein levels from several protein pathways have been shown to differ between white (WA) and brown (BA) adipocytes, proteomic work on this subject with the exception of mitochondrial protein differences is limited. It was, therefore, the aim of the study to compare WA with BA soluble protein levels. Proteins were extracted from WA

Voltage-Dependent Potassium Channels in White Adipocytes

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1996
Macroscopic membrane currents of white adipocytes were studied using the whole-cell variant of the patch-clamp technique. These cells were obtained by differentiating preadipocytes fro rat epididymal tissue. In all differentiated cells outward currents exhibiting sigmoidal activation kinetics were observed with amplitudes ranging from 0.5 to 6 nA.

Functional differentiation of white and brown adipocytes

BioEssays, 1997
AbstractAdipose tissue plays an important role in mammalian energy equilibrium not only as a lipid‐dissipating, i.e. energy‐storing, tissue (white adipose tissue), but also as an energy‐dissipating one (brown adipose tissue). Brown adipocytes have the ability of facultative heat production due to a unique mitochondrial protein, the uncoupling protein ...

White adipocytes transdifferentiation into brown adipocytes induced by triiodothyronine

2008
The uncontrolled expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT) seen in obesity predisposes affected individuals to health complications. Another type of fat, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has an opposing physiological function because it allows dissipation instead of storage of energy.

Glucose Transport in White Adipocyte

2012
Adipocyte glucose transport is a key event for glucose homeostasis and is perturbed in insulin resistant situations like in obesity and type 2 diabetes. We will discuss how glucose transport is regulated in adipocyte, in normal, and in physiopathological conditions.

Bi-directional interconversion of brite and white adipocytes

Nature Cell Biology, 2013
Brown adipose tissue helps to maintain body temperature in hibernators, rodents and neonatal mammals by converting lipids and glucose into heat, thereby increasing energy expenditure. In addition to classical brown adipocytes, adult rodents-like adult humans-harbour brown-like adipocytes in the predominantly white adipose tissue. The formation of these

The secretory function of adipocytes in the physiology of white adipose tissue

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2008
AbstractWhite adipose tissue, previously regarded as a passive lipid storage site, is now viewed as a dynamic tissue. It has the capacity to actively communicate by sending and receiving different types of signals. An overview of these signals, the external modulators that affect adipose tissue and the secreted signaling molecules, the adipokines, is ...

Fine structural studies on white adipocyte differentiation

The Anatomical Record, 1979
AbstractThe differentiation of mammalian white adipocytes from prenatal through early postnatal periods was studied by light and electron microscopy in C57BL mice. Anatomical regions chosen for this study were the epididymal, mesometrial, mesenteric and inguinal fat pads.

White and beige adipocytes: are they metabolically distinct?

Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation, 2018
Abstract The white adipose tissue (WAT) exhibits great plasticity and can undergo “browning” and acquire features of the brown adipose tissue (BAT), which takes place following cold exposure, chronic endurance exercise or β3-adrenergic stimulation.
