Engineering Human Beige Adipose Tissue
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 In this study, we described a method for generating functional, beige (thermogenic) adipose microtissues from human microvascular fragments (MVFs). The MVFs were isolated from adipose tissue acquired from adults over 50 years of age.

Maintaining mitochondria in beige adipose tissue [PDF]
Adipocyte, 2019 Individual cell types vary enormously in the amount of different organelles they contain. One such organelle is the mitochondrion. Understanding how mitochondrial levels are controlled is essential since so many disease states seem to involve ...

EBF2 promotes the recruitment of beige adipocytes in white adipose tissue
Molecular Metabolism, 2016 Objective: The induction of beige/brite adipose cells in white adipose tissue (WAT) is associated with protection against high fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in animals.

Hyaluronan Mediates Cold-Induced Adipose Tissue Beiging
CellsAdipose tissue beiging refers to the process by which beige adipocytes emerge in classical white adipose tissue depots. Beige adipocytes dissipate chemical energy and secrete adipokines, such as classical brown adipocytes, to improve systemic metabolism,

Beige Adipose Tissue Identification and Marker Specificity—Overview [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Adipose tissue (AT) is classified based on its location, physiological and functional characteristics. Although there is a clear demarcation of anatomical and molecular features specific to white (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), the factors that uniquely differentiate beige AT (BeAT) remain to be fully elaborated.

Studies of adipose tissue in humans with special reference to innervation by the sympathetic nervous system [PDF]
, 2009 PhDThis thesis reports the effects in vivo of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in human subcutaneous abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT) and other tissues involved in energy storage and utilisation. Cannulation of superficial veins draining skin,

Mirabegron: The most promising adipose tissue beiging agent [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 2021 Accumulation of white adipose tissue (WAT) underlies the obesity epidemic, leading to current therapeutic techniques that are being investigated for their ability to activate/"beige" this tissue. Adipose tissue (AT) beiging has been reported through intermittent cold exposure (CE), exercise, and β3-Adrenergic Receptor (β3AR) agonists.

The Role of Thermogenic Fat Tissue in Energy Consumption
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022 Mammalian adipose tissues are broadly divided into white adipose tissue (WAT) and thermogenic fat tissue (brown adipose tissue and beige adipose tissue).

Latest Advancements on Combating Obesity by Targeting Human Brown/Beige Adipose Tissues
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Obesity is defined as overaccumulation of white adipose tissue in the body, mainly under the skin (subcutaneous adiposity) or in the abdominal cavity (visceral adiposity).
