Studies of adipose tissue in humans with special reference to innervation by the sympathetic nervous system [PDF]
PhDThis thesis reports the effects in vivo of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in human subcutaneous abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT) and other tissues involved in energy storage and utilisation. Cannulation of superficial veins draining skin,

Renaissance of Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]
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]
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

FoxO1 regulates adipose transdifferentiation and iron influx by mediating Tgfβ1 signaling pathway
Adipose plasticity is critical for metabolic homeostasis. Adipocyte transdifferentiation plays an important role in adipose plasticity, but the molecular mechanism of transdifferentiation remains incompletely understood.

Natural Extracts That Stimulate Adipocyte Browning and Their Underlying Mechanisms
Despite progress in understanding the developmental lineage and transcriptional factors regulating brown and beige adipocytes, the role of environmental modifiers, such as food components and natural extracts, remains to be elucidated.

Involvement of Alternative Splicing Regulation in Adipose Tissue Thermogenic Induction [PDF]
[eng] Alternative splicing (AS) is a gene expression regulatory mechanism that enables generation of multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene which commonly are translated into proteins.

Transcriptional fingerprinting of "browning" white fat identifies NRG4 as a novel adipokine [PDF]
Brown adipocytes help to maintain body temperature by the expression of a unique set of genes that facilitate cellular metabolic events including uncoupling protein 1-dependent thermogenesis.

Brown Adipose Tissue in a Newborn [PDF]
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

circNrxn2 Promoted WAT Browning via Sponging miR-103 to Relieve Its Inhibition of FGF10 in HFD Mice
The accumulation of excess white adipose tissue (WAT) has harmful consequences on metabolic health. WAT browning confers beneficial effects on adiposity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells : tissue localization, characterization, and heterogeneity [PDF]
Adipose tissue as a stem cell source is ubiquitously available and has several advantages compared to other sources. It is easily accessible in large quantities with minimal invasive harvesting procedure, and isolation of adipose-derived mesenchymal ...
