Continuous intake of Trehalose induces white adipose tissue Browning and Enhances energy metabolism
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2019 Background Trehalose is well known as a functional disaccharide with anti-metabolic activities such as suppression of adipocyte hypertrophy in mice and alleviation of impaired glucose tolerance in humans.

Optogenetics Sheds Light on Brown and Beige Adipocytes
Journal of Cellular Signaling, 2023 Excessive food intake leads to lipid accumulation in white adipose tissue, triggering inflammation, cellular stress, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. In contrast, the dynamic energy expenditure and heat generation of brown and beige adipose tissue, driven by specialized mitochondria, render it an appealing candidate for therapeutic ...

Beige adipocytes contribute to breast cancer progression
Oncology Reports, 2020 Adipocytes are the main stromal cells in the mammary microenvironment, and crosstalk between adipocytes and breast cancer cells may play a critical and important role in cancer maintenance and progression. Tumor‑induced differentiation to beige/brown adipose tissue is an important contribution to the hypermetabolic state of breast cancer.

UCP1 Dependent and Independent Thermogenesis in Brown and Beige Adipocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Mammals have two types of thermogenic adipocytes: brown adipocytes and beige adipocytes. Thermogenic adipocytes express high levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) to dissipates energy in the form of heat by uncoupling the mitochondrial proton gradient from mitochondrial respiration.

Improved glucose metabolism by Eragrostis tef potentially through beige adipocyte formation and attenuating adipose tissue inflammation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:Teff is a staple food in Ethiopia that is rich in dietary fiber. Although gaining popularity in Western countries because it is gluten-free, the effects of teff on glucose metabolism remain unknown.

Functional Inactivation of Mast Cells Enhances Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Browning in Mice
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Adipose tissue browning and systemic energy expenditure provide a defense mechanism against obesity and associated metabolic diseases. In high-cholesterol Western diet-fed mice, mast cell (MC) inactivation ameliorates obesity and insulin ...

Biology of Beige Adipocyte and Possible Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2016 All mammals own two main forms of fat. The classical white adipose tissue builds up energy in the form of triglycerides and is useful for preventing fatigue during periods of low caloric intake and the brown adipose tissue instead of inducing fat ...
