CD90 Is Dispensable for White and Beige/Brown Adipocyte Differentiation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ in rodents and humans. In mice, the transplantation of BAT has been successfully used to combat obesity and its comorbidities. While such beneficial properties of BAT are now evident, the developmental and cellular origins of brown, beige, and white adipocytes have remained only poorly understood ...

Effects of exercise on brown and beige adipocytes

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2019
Physical exercise leads to beneficial effects in numerous tissues and organ systems and offers protection against obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies have investigated the role of exercise on brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT), and have indicated marked adaptations to each tissue with exercise.

Adipocyte HDAC4 activation leads to beige adipocyte expansion and reduced adiposity. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Endocrinol, 2018
Numerous studies have suggested that beige adipocyte abundance is correlated with improved metabolic performance, but direct evidence showing that beige adipocyte expansion protects animals from the development of obesity is missing. Previously, we have described that the liver kinase b1 (LKB1) regulates beige adipocyte renaissance in subcutaneous ...

Adipose mTORC1 Suppresses Prostaglandin Signaling and Beige Adipogenesis via the CRTC2-COX-2 Pathway

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Beige adipocytes are present in white adipose tissue (WAT) and have thermogenic capacity to orchestrate substantial energy metabolism and counteract obesity.

Neural control of white, beige and brown adipocytes [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Obesity Supplements, 2015
Reports of brown-like adipocytes in traditionally white adipose tissue (WAT) depots occurred ~30 years ago, but interest in white adipocyte 'browning' only has gained attention more recently. We integrate some of what is known about the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) innervation of WAT and brown adipose tissue (BAT) with the few studies focusing on ...

Beige Fat, Adaptive Thermogenesis, and Its Regulation by Exercise and Thyroid Hormone

open access: yesBiology, 2019
While it is now understood that the proper expansion of adipose tissue is critically important for metabolic homeostasis, it is also appreciated that adipose tissues perform far more functions than simply maintaining energy balance.

The Common and Distinct Features of Brown and Beige Adipocytes [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2018
Two types of thermogenic fat cells, brown adipocytes and beige adipocytes, play a key role in the regulation of systemic energy homeostasis in mammals. Both brown fat and beige fat possess thermogenic properties in addition to common morphological and biochemical characteristics, including multilocular lipid droplets and cristae-dense mitochondria ...

Sympathetic nerve innervation is required for beigeing in white fat

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2019
It is increasingly recognized that activation of beige adipocyte thermogenesis by pharmacological or genetic approaches increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity.

Adipocyte-specific Hypoxia-inducible gene 2 promotes fat deposition and diet-induced insulin resistance

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2016
Objective: Adipose tissue relies on lipid droplet (LD) proteins in its role as a lipid-storing endocrine organ that controls whole body metabolism.
