Brown adipose tissue monocytes support tissue expansion [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractMonocytes are part of the mononuclear phagocytic system. Monocytes play a central role during inflammatory conditions and a better understanding of their dynamics might open therapeutic opportunities. In the present study, we focused on the characterization and impact of monocytes on brown adipose tissue (BAT) functions during tissue remodeling.

Brown and Beige Adipose Tissue and Aging [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Across aging, adipose tissue (AT) changes its quantity and distribution: AT becomes dysfunctional with an increase in production of inflammatory peptides, a decline of those with anti-inflammatory activity and infiltration of macrophages. Adipose organ dysfunction may lead to age-related metabolic alterations.

Renaissance of Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2011 The recent discovery of functional brown adipose tissue in human adults raised this tissue again into the focus of current investigations concerning human energy homeostasis. Brown fat is a key thermogenic tissue and is essential for non-shivering thermogenesis in the human newborn and hibernating mammals.

Sexual Dimorphism in Brown Adipose Tissue Activation and White Adipose Tissue Browning
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 The present narrative review gathers the studies reported so far, addressing sex differences in the effects of cold exposure, feeding pattern and age on brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and white adipose tissue (WAT) browning. In rodents, when exposed to decreasing temperatures, females activate thermogenesis earlier. Results obtained in humans

Brown adipose tissue and bone [PDF]
International Journal of Obesity Supplements, 2015 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is capable of transforming chemically stored energy, in the form of triglycerides, into heat. Recent studies have shown that metabolically active BAT is present in a large proportion of adult humans, where its activity correlates with a favorable metabolic status. Hence, the tissue is now regarded as an interesting target for

Brown adipose tissue and thermogenesis [PDF]
Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation, 2014 Abstract The growing understanding of adipose tissue as an important endocrine organ with multiple metabolic functions has directed the attention to the (patho)physiology of distinct fat depots. Brown adipose tissue (BAT), in contrast to bona fide white fat, can dissipate significant amounts of chemical energy through uncoupled ...

Brown Adipose Tissue in a Newborn [PDF]
Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2008 A premature infant boy of 35 weeks and 4 days weighing 2605 g was found to have bilateral supraclavicular masses at 13 days of life. He had persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn and thrombocytopenia. Delivery was by cesarean section for nonreassuring fetal status, and Apgar scores were 5 at 1 minute and 8 at 5 minutes. Initial radiographs

Human Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2010 The BAT organ is unique in that it has evolved to safely dissipate large amounts of chemical energy--a quality that might be harnessed to help humans deal with a dangerously hypercaloric environment and still remain in good health.

Exercise-induced ‘browning’ of adipose tissues [PDF]
Metabolism, 2018 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 and hyperplasia of adipocyte pre-cursors.

Brown adipose tissue in humans
Annals of Medicine, 2015 In spite of the long history of evidence for brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans (1), the evidence of its functionality was missing.
