Electron Density of Adipose Tissues Determined by Phase-Contrast Computed Tomography Provides a Measure for Mitochondrial Density and Fat Content

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Phase-contrast computed tomography (PCCT) is an X-ray-based imaging method measuring differences in the refractive index during tissue passage. While conventional X-ray techniques rely on the absorption of radiation due to differing tissue-specific ...

Purple and red rice (Oryza sativa L.) bran polyphenols show antiobesity and antidiabetic activities

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Rice bran is a source of bioactive polyphenols. This study aimed to characterize the antidiabetic potential of different rice brans (one brown, two red, and two purple) by examining their ability to inhibit α‐amylase, α‐glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase, and to stimulate glucose uptake in adipocytes.

Abnormal brown adipose tissue mitochondrial structure and function in IL10 deficiency

EBioMedicine, 2019
Background: Inflammation is the most relevant mechanism linking obesity with insulin-resistance and metabolic disease. It impacts the structure and function of tissues and organs involved in metabolism, such as the liver, pancreatic islets and the ...

[18F]F-AraG imaging reveals association between neuroinflammation and brown- and bone marrow adipose tissue

Communications Biology
Brown and brown-like adipose tissues have attracted significant attention for their role in metabolism and therapeutic potential in diabetes and obesity.

Brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in humans [PDF]

Diabetologia, 2013
The prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is at epidemic proportions. Classical interventions aimed at targeting obesity, such as reducing energy intake or increasing exercise, are often not effective over the long term. In contrast to white adipocytes, which store energy, brown adipocytes generate heat via mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 ...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy investigations of brown adipose tissue and isolated brown adipocytes.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Brown adipose tissue and collagenase-isolated brown adipocytes were investigated in rats by means of 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Activation of classical brown adipocytes in the adult human perirenal depot is highly correlated with PRDM16-EHMT1 complex expression.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Brown fat generates heat to protect against cold and obesity. Adrenergic stimulation activates the thermogenic program of brown adipocytes. Although the bioactivity of brown adipose tissue in adult humans had been assumed to very low, several studies ...

UCP1 in Brite/Beige Adipose Tissue Mitochondria Is Functionally Thermogenic

Cell Reports, 2013
The phenomenon of white fat “browning,” in which certain white adipose tissue depots significantly increase gene expression for the uncoupling protein UCP1 and thus supposedly acquire thermogenic, fat-burning properties, has attracted considerable ...

Simple mechanical cues could explain adipose tissue morphology [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The mechanisms by which organs acquire their functional structure and realize its maintenance (or homeostasis) over time are still largely unknown. In this paper, we investigate this question on adipose tissue. Adipose tissue can represent 20 to 50% of the body weight.

Brown Adipose Tissue in Cetacean Blubber

PLOS ONE, 2015
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an important role in thermoregulation in species living in cold environments, given heat can be generated from its chemical energy reserves. Here we investigate the existence of BAT in blubber in four species of delphinoid cetacean, the Pacific white-sided and bottlenose dolphins, Lagenorhynchus obliquidens and Tursiops
