Adipocyte Liver Kinase b1 Suppresses Beige Adipocyte Renaissance Through Class IIa Histone Deacetylase 4. [PDF]
, 2017 Uncoupling protein 1+ beige adipocytes are dynamically regulated by environment in rodents and humans; cold induces formation of beige adipocytes, whereas warm temperature and nutrient excess lead to their disappearance. Beige adipocytes can form through

Effects of exercise on brown and beige adipocytes
Biochimica 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.

Adaptive thermogenesis in adipocytes: Is beige the new brown? [PDF]
Genes & Development, 2013 One of the most promising areas in the therapeutics for metabolic diseases centers around activation of the pathways of energy expenditure. Brown adipose tissue is a particularly appealing target for increasing energy expenditure, given its amazing capacity to transform chemical energy into heat.

PON2 Deficiency Leads to Increased Susceptibility to Diet-Induced Obesity. [PDF]
, 2019 (1) Background: Paraoxonase 2 (PON2) is a ubiquitously expressed protein localized to endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Previous studies have shown that PON2 exhibits anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory functions, and PON2-deficient (PON2-def) mice ...

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

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