Mitochondrial dysfunction in white adipose tissue [PDF]

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012
Although mitochondria in brown adipose tissue and their role in non-shivering thermogenesis have been widely studied, we have only a limited understanding of the relevance of mitochondria in white adipose tissue (WAT) for cellular homeostasis of the adipocyte and their impact upon systemic energy homeostasis.

The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms [PDF]

, 2015
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.

Calcium sensing receptor as a novel mediator of adipose tissue dysfunction: mechanisms and potential clinical implications

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Obesity is currently a serious worldwide public health problem, reaching pandemic levels. For decades, dietary and behavioral approaches have failed to prevent this disease from expanding, and health authorities are challenged by the elevated prevalence ...

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

Resveratrol and Pterostilbene, Two Analogue Phenolic Compounds, Affect Aquaglyceroporin Expression in a Different Manner in Adipose Tissue [PDF]

, 2018
Aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channels that mediate glycerol release and glycerol uptake. They are involved in fat metabolism, with implications in obesity. The aim was to determine whether the administration of resveratrol and pterostilbene

Adipocyte lipid synthesis coupled to neuronal control of thermogenic programming [PDF]

, 2017
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

Beige Adipose Tissue Identification and Marker Specificity—Overview

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Adipose tissue (AT) is classified based on its location, physiological and functional characteristics. Although there is a clear demarcation of anatomical and molecular features specific to white (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), the factors that ...

miR-34a-/- mice are susceptible to diet-induced obesity [PDF]

, 2016
Objective: MicroRNA (miR)−34a regulates inflammatory pathways, and increased transcripts have been observed in serum and subcutaneous adipose of subjects who have obesity and type 2 diabetes.

FAM13A and POM121C are candidate genes for fasting insulin: functional follow-up analysis of a genome-wide association study [PDF]

, 2018
Aims/hypothesis: By genome-wide association meta-analysis, 17 genetic loci associated with fasting serum insulin (FSI), a marker of systemic insulin resistance, have been identified. To define potential culprit genes in these loci, in a cross-sectional

De novo reconstruction of human adipose transcriptome reveals conserved lncRNAs as regulators of brown adipogenesis

Nature Communications, 2018
Long non-coding RNAs are known to regulate mouse white adipose tissue development and brown adipose tissue program expression. Here, the authors construct a roadmap for human long non-coding RNAs expressed in fetal brown adipose tissue, adult omental and
