Human Islet miR‐199a‐5p and miR‐214‐3p Associate With Donor Age, BMI, and Sex and Mediate Cellular Aging in Islet‐Derived Cells

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Human islets are widely researched to understand pathophysiological mechanisms leading to diabetes. Sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) are key donor traits influencing islet function, which is also regulated by an intricate network of microRNAs.

Toll Like Receptor 4: A Potential Link Between Obesity and Metabolic Diseases

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological evidence shows that obesity increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, the mechanisms behind this connection remain underappreciated. The substantial impact of these disorders on global health has led to extensive research efforts aimed at identifying the pathophysiological links between them.

Mitochondrial fission is associated with UCP1 activity in human brite/beige adipocytes

Molecular Metabolism, 2018
Objective: Thermogenic adipocytes (i.e. brown or brite/beige adipocytes) are able to burn large amounts of lipids and carbohydrates as a result of highly active mitochondria and enhanced uncoupled respiration, due to UCP1 activity.

Effects of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists (Mono and Combination Therapy) on Energy Expenditure: A Scoping Review

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Weight loss results in reduced energy expenditure (EE) due to body composition alterations (e.g., fat‐free mass and fat mass losses) and mass‐independent adaptations in EE (e.g., hormones). Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RA) are indicated for obesity management; however, their effects on EE remain unclear ...

Chrna2-driven CRE Is Expressed in Beige Adipocytes

Endocrinology
Abstract Significant research interest has been focused on beige adipocytes, the activation of which improves glucose and lipid homeostasis, therefore representing new therapeutic opportunities for metabolic diseases. Various Cre/Lox-based strategies have been used to investigate the developmental history of beige adipocytes and how ...

Preadipocyte IL-13/IL-13Rα1 signaling regulates beige adipogenesis through modulation of PPARγ activity

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) regulate the proliferation of preadipocytes that give rise to beige adipocytes. Whether and how ILC2 downstream Th2 cytokines control beige adipogenesis remain unclear.

M2 macrophages independently promote beige adipogenesis via blocking adipocyte Ets1

Nature Communications
Adipose tissue macrophages can promote beige adipose thermogenesis by altering local sympathetic activity. Here, we perform sympathectomy in mice and further eradicate subcutaneous adipose macrophages and discover that these macrophages have a direct ...

Long‐term adverse cardiovascular changes induced by cocoa shell extract administration through lactation in fetal undernourished and control rats

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3667-3683, 1 August 2026.
Abstract Cocoa shell extract (CSE; rich in antioxidant compounds) administered to adult hypertensive rats exposed to fetal undernutrition (MUN) reduces blood pressure, improving cardiovascular alterations. We aimed to explore lactation as a reprogramming window, evaluating the long‐term effects of CSE supplementation during this period. MUN and control

Epigenetically active chromatin in neonatal iWAT reveals GABPα as a potential regulator of beige adipogenesis

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundThermogenic beige adipocytes, which dissipate energy as heat, are found in neonates and adults. Recent studies show that neonatal beige adipocytes are highly plastic and contribute to >50% of beige adipocytes in adults.

Analysis of Tks4 Knockout Mice Suggests a Role for Tks4 in Adipose Tissue Homeostasis in the Context of Beigeing

Cells, 2019
Obesity and adipocyte malfunction are related to and arise as consequences of disturbances in signaling pathways. Tyrosine kinase substrate with four Src homology 3 domains (Tks4) is a scaffold protein that establishes a platform for signaling cascade ...
