Understanding the Molecular Processes of Obesity and the Anti‐Obesity Properties of Bioactive Substances Found in Tea

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Obesity, a severe worldwide health concern, is characterized as an excessive deposit of fat in the human body. It has various ramifications that endanger human health and increase the financial expense. Obesity raises the risk of several illnesses, notably cardiovascular disease, NALFD, and diabetes, and has been associated with shorter ...

Cold adaptation in pigs depends on UCP3 in beige adipocytes [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Cell Biology, 2017
Pigs lack functional uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) making them susceptible to cold. Nevertheless, several pig breeds are known to be cold resistant. The molecular mechanism(s) enabling such adaptation are currently unknown. Here, we show that this resistance is not dependent on shivering, but rather depends on UCP3 and white adipose tissue (WAT) browning.

Adaptation of White Adipocytes to Cooler Temperatures: Impacts on Energy Metabolism and Protein Acetylation

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
Cultured white adipocytes exposed to 31°C undergo cell‐autonomous metabolic adaptation characterized by enhanced mitochondrial function and widespread remodeling of the mitochondrial acetylome. Acetyl‐proteomic and metabolomic profiling identified mitochondria‐associated proteins, including SHMT2 and PCCA, whose acetylation changes were linked to ...

Aging impairs cold-induced beige adipogenesis and adipocyte metabolic reprogramming

eLife
The energy-burning capability of beige adipose tissue is a potential therapeutic tool for reducing obesity and metabolic disease, but this capacity is decreased by aging. Here, we evaluate the impact of aging on the profile and activity of adipocyte stem

Chemokine receptor CCR1 restrains adipose tissue remodelling via cAMP/PKA/CREB signalling and adipocyte‒macrophage crosstalk in mice

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
CCR1 expression is significantly elevated in adipose tissue of obese individuals. Systemic and adipocyte‐specific Ccr1 deletion promotes fat browning via cAMP/PKA/CREB activation and M2 macrophage polarisation, protecting against obesity. Pharmacological blockade of CCR1 suppresses obesity progression, highlighting its potential as a novel target for ...

Therapeutic Potential of Water‐Based Anatolian Propolis Extract Against CAF Diet‐Induced Obesity and Its Metabolic Complications

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Water‐based Anatolian propolis extract attenuates CAF diet‐induced obesity‐related metabolic disturbances by improving dyslipidemia, hepatic injury, adipokine imbalance, and inflammatory status in C57BL/6 mice. ABSTRACT This study investigates the anti‐obesity effects of water‐based Anatolian propolis extract in mice with a cafeteria diet‐induced ...

Studying Brown Adipose Tissue in a Human in vitro Context

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
New treatments for obesity and associated metabolic disease are increasingly warranted with the growth of the obesity pandemic. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) may represent a promising therapeutic target to treat obesity, as this tissue has been shown to ...

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

Development of an adipocyte differentiation protocol using 3T3-L1 cells for the investigation of the browning process: identification of the PPAR-γ agonist rosiglitazone as a browning reference drug

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundObesity is a metabolic disease that is characterized by an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue (AT) and is often associated with other pathologies.
