Current Progress in Adipose Tissue Biology: Implications in Obesity and Its Comorbidities
BACKGROUND: Obesity has been decades become a highly interest study, accompanied by the realization that adipose tissue (AT) plays a major role in the regulation of metabolic function.

Regulation of beige adipocyte thermogenesis by the cold-repressed ER protein NNAT
Objective: Cold stimuli trigger the conversion of white adipose tissue into beige adipose tissue, which is capable of non-shivering thermogenesis. However, what process drives this activation of thermogenesis in beige fat is not well understood. Here, we

Exercise-induced ‘browning’ of adipose tissues [PDF]
Global rates of obesity continue to rise and are necessarily the consequence of a long-term imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. This is the result of an expansion of adipose tissue due to both the hypertrophy of existing adipocytes ...

Lysyl oxidase inhibition enhances browning of white adipose tissue and adaptive thermogenesis
Accumulating evidence from both animal and human studies suggests that activation of beige fat increases cellular energy expenditure, ultimately reducing adiposity.

White adipose tissue uptake on 18F FDG PET/CT: A case report
Three distinct types of adipose tissue have been characterized: brown, white, and beige. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is typically found in specific regions including the anterior cervical, supraclavicular, axillary, and paravertebral areas.

EBF2 promotes the recruitment of beige adipocytes in white adipose tissue
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.

Differing impact of phosphoglycerate mutase 1-deficiency on brown and white adipose tissue
Summary: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a metabolically active organ that contributes to the thermogenic response to cold exposure. In addition, other thermogenic cells termed beige adipocytes are generated in white adipose tissue (WAT) by cold exposure ...

miR-155 regulates differentiation of brown and beige adipocytes via a bistable circuit [PDF]
Brown adipocytes are a primary site of energy expenditure and reside not only in classical brown adipose tissue but can also be found in white adipose tissue.

Breast milk alkylglycerols sustain beige adipocytes through adipose tissue macrophages [PDF]
Prevalence of obesity among infants and children below 5 years of age is rising dramatically, and early childhood obesity is a forerunner of obesity and obesity-associated diseases in adulthood. Childhood obesity is hence one of the most serious public health challenges today.

Traveling from the hypothalamus to the adipose tissue: The thermogenic pathway
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specialized tissue critical for non-shivering thermogenesis producing heat through mitochondrial uncoupling; whereas white adipose tissue (WAT) is responsible of energy storage in the form of triglycerides. Another type of
