Deceptive Brown Adipose Tissue
Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine SocietiesA 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 ...

Brown Adipose Tissue Growth and Development [PDF]
Scientifica, 2013 Brown adipose tissue is uniquely able to rapidly produce large amounts of heat through activation of uncoupling protein (UCP) 1. Maximally stimulated brown fat can produce 300 watts/kg of heat compared to 1 watt/kg in all other tissues.

BATLAS: Deconvoluting Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Recruitment and activation of thermogenic adipocytes have received increasing attention as a strategy to improve systemic metabolic control. The analysis of brown and brite adipocytes is complicated by the complexity of adipose tissue biopsies ...

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

A computed tomography‐based survey of paramedullary diverticula in extant Aves
The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 1, Page 29-50, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Avian respiratory systems are comprised of rigid lungs connected to a hierarchically organized network of large, regional air sacs, and small diverticula that branch from them. Paramedullary diverticula are those that rest in contact with the spinal cord, and frequently invade the vertebral canal.

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

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 ...

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.
