Synergistic Effects of Bioactive Compounds on Human Adiposity Mechanisms of Fat Loss and Fat Accumulation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Chronic diseases are associated with imbalances in adipose tissue, which plays a crucial role in regulating metabolic health. Food‐based bioactive substances (such as polyphenols, terpenoids, peptides, and fibers) impact fat metabolism by influencing the processes of lipolysis, adipogenesis, thermogenesis, and appetite control.

CDK6 inhibits white to beige fat transition by suppressing RUNX1

Nature Communications, 2018
Beige adipocytes can arise from transdifferentiation of mature white adipocytes. Here the authors identify CDK6 as a key molecule involved in the white-to-beige adipocyte transdifferentiation and, therefore, as a regulator of organismal energy ...

Human BAT possesses molecular signatures that resemble beige/brite cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates chemical energy and generates heat to protect animals from cold and obesity. Rodents possess two types of UCP-1 positive brown adipocytes arising from distinct developmental lineages: "classical" brown adipocytes ...

Wireless optogenetics protects against obesity via stimulation of non-canonical fat thermogenesis. [PDF]

, 2020
Cold stimuli and the subsequent activation of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) potently stimulate adipose tissue thermogenesis and increase whole-body energy expenditure.

Adipocyte browning and higher mitochondrial function in peri-adrenal but not subcutaneous fat in pheochromocytoma [PDF]

, 2016
Context: Patients with pheochromocytoma (pheo) show presence of multilocular adipocytes that express uncoupling protein (UCP) 1 within periadrenal (pADR) and omental (OME) fat depots. It has been hypothesized that this is due to adrenergic stimulation

Activation of estrogen receptor alpha induces beiging of adipocytes

Molecular Metabolism, 2018
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and BAT-like adipose tissues, referred to as 'beige' adipose tissues uncouple respiration from ATP synthesis via uncoupling protein one (UCP-1). There is a sexual dimorphism with respect to beige and BAT tissues; pre-menopausal women have more BAT and are more sensitive to BAT activation than men or postmenopausal women.

Human Beige Adipocytes: Epiphenomenon or Drivers of Metabolic Improvements? [PDF]

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2016
There is a lack of direct evidence that human brown or beige adipocytes improve whole-body energy homeostasis. In a recent study, Min et al. implanted proliferated human adipocyte progenitors from a 3D culture system in mice. Implants responded to adipogenic stimuli and had a beige-like phenotype upon induction that significantly improved systemic ...

Protocol for stromal vascular fraction isolation from inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue and beige adipocyte differentiation

STAR Protocols
Summary: Research on inducing beige adipocytes to combat obesity and its comorbidities is growing, with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from white adipose tissue showing potential to differentiate into both white and beige adipocytes.

Induction of Beige-Like Adipocytes in 3T3-L1 Cells

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2014
There are two types of brown adipocytes: classical brown adipocytes that form the brown fat depots and beige adipocytes that emerge in the white fat depots. Beige adipocytes have a low level of uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) expression in the basal state, but Ucp1 expression is increased in response to β adrenergic receptor activation.

Free Radicals in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2025.
Free radicals have dual roles that can either selectively create oxidative damages to transformed cells in treating proliferative diseases such as cancers and some dermatological disorders or boost the antioxidant system in treating degenerative diseases such as neurodegenerative disorder, joint degeneration, and metabolic conditions.
