Sexual Dimorphism in Brown Adipose Tissue Activation and White Adipose Tissue Browning
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

Intravitreally injected anti-VEGF antibody reduces brown fat in neonatal mice [PDF]
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents are the mainstay treatment for various angiogenesis-related retinal diseases. Currently, bevacizumab, a recombinant humanized anti-VEGF antibody, is trailed in retinopathy of prematurity, a ...

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.

Assessment of brown adipose tissue function
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
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 ...

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

Human Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]
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.

The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms [PDF]
Objectives: The corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)/urocortin system is expressed in the adipose tissue of mammals, but its functional role in this tissue remains unknown.

Adipocyte lipid synthesis coupled to neuronal control of thermogenic programming [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The de novo biosynthesis of fatty acids (DNL) through fatty acid synthase (FASN) in adipocytes is exquisitely regulated by nutrients, hormones, fasting, and obesity in mice and humans. However, the functions of DNL in adipocyte biology and in
