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 ...

Deceptive Brown Adipose Tissue

Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies
A 23-year-old female presented with headache, palpitation, and hypertensive spells. There was no similar family history. Twenty-four (24) hour urine testing showed elevated normetanephrine level with normal metanephrines [metanephrines 123 mcg/24 hrs ...

An update on brown adipose tissue and obesity intervention: Function, regulation and therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Overweight and obesity have become a world-wide problem. However, effective intervention approaches are limited. Brown adipose tissue, which helps maintain body temperature and contributes to thermogenesis, is dependent on uncoupling protein1.

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

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.

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

Fatty Acid Metabolite Profiling Reveals Oxylipins as Markers of Brown but Not Brite Adipose Tissue

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Metabolites of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are important signaling molecules implicated in the control of adipogenesis and energy balance regulation.

Assessment of brown adipose tissue function

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
In this review we discuss practical considerations for the assessment of brown adipose tissue in rodent models, focusing on mice. The central aim of the review is to provide a critical appraisal of the utility of specialised techniques for assessing ...

The kallikrein–kinin pathway as a mechanism for auto-control of brown adipose tissue activity

Nature Communications, 2020
Brown adipose tissue, known produce heat by metabolizing fat, is also secretes molecules capable of communicating with other organs. Here the authors show that brown adipose tissue secretes kininogen, a component of heat system regulation, that provides ...

Multiple regulatory steps are involved in the control of lipoprotein lipase activity in brown adipose tissue.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) supplies brown adipose tissue with fatty acids for nonshivering thermogenesis. In brown adipose tissue of the Djungarian hamster we studied i) the molecular mechanisms involved in cold-induced stimulation of LPL activity, ii) the
