50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Muscle wasting in cancer cachexia: Mechanisms and the role of exercise

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial disease marked by a severe and progressive loss of lean muscle mass and characterized further by inflammation and a negative energy/protein balance, ultimately leading to muscle atrophy and loss of muscle tissue.

Seven days of warm‐water immersion enhances resting irisin and BDNF, but not klotho, in older men

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We examined whether seven consecutive days of warm‐water immersion could elevate resting and exercise‐induced levels of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), irisin and klotho in older adults. These biomarkers support cognitive and metabolic health, but their levels decline with age.

Brown Adipose Tissue

Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 2011
A constant body temperature can only be maintained when the rate of heat dissipation equals the rate of heat loss. Thermoregulatory heat production mechanisms compensating heat loss are classically categorized as shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis.

The Importance of Brown Adipose Tissue

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
To the Editor: In the April 9 issue, van Marken Lichtenbelt et al., Cypess et al., and Virtanen et al. report on functioning supraclavicular brown adipose tissue in adult humans. Van Marken Lichtenbelt et al. conclude that brown-adipose-tissue activity induced by exposure to cold is impaired in overweight healthy subjects, and Cypess et al., using ...

Brown adipose tissue in humans

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2011
Human brown adipose tissue (BAT) has recently found to be functionally active in adults. The purpose of this review is to chart the importance of BAT in the light of recent publications in humans.After publication of the direct evidence of functional BAT in human adults the original findings in human studies have been sparse.

Bioenergenetics of brown adipose tissue

Lipids, 1970
AbstractExamination of the effect of 2,4‐dinitrophenol (DNP) in vivo on the brown adipose tissue of cold‐exposed rats as well as the effect of DNP and dicumarol in vitro, indicates that brown fat does possess a functional electron transport‐coupled phosphorylating system.

The Ontogeny of Brown Adipose Tissue

Annual Review of Nutrition, 2015
There are three different types of adipose tissue (AT)—brown, white, and beige—that differ with stage of development, species, and anatomical location. Of these, brown AT (BAT) is the least abundant but has the greatest potential impact on energy balance.
