Shades of Brown: A Model for Thermogenic Fat

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2015
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is specialized to burn fuels to perform thermogenesis in defense of body temperature against cold. Recent discovery of metabolically active and relevant amounts of BAT in adult humans have made it a potentially attractive ...

Unraveling the Interaction Between Beige Adipocytes and the Sympathetic Nervous System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Obesity affects more than one in three adults in the United States and is a significant risk factor for a constellation of chronic diseases. The crucial role of adipose tissue in energy balance has driven great interest in investigating this tissue as a ...

Tissue‐Specific Effects of Dietary Protein on Cellular Senescence Are Mediated by Branched‐Chain Amino Acids

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2025.
Restriction of dietary BCAAs protects male mice from the metabolic consequences of both normal‐ and high‐protein diets. BCAA restriction also protects from hepatic cellular senescence in vivo and in vitro, especially in the context of mitochondrial stress. ABSTRACT Dietary protein is a key regulator of healthy aging in both mice and humans.

Characterization of cold-induced remodelling reveals depot-specific differences across and within brown and white adipose tissues in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Brown and beige adipose tissues dissipate energy in the form of heat via mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1, defending against hypothermia and potentially obesity.

Perirenal Fat in Disease Progression: From Inflammatory Mediator to Therapeutic Target

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urology, Volume 32, Issue 10, Page 1314-1320, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Perirenal fat (PRF), the adipose tissue that encases the kidneys, has long been considered a passive energy reservoir and mechanical buffer. However, emerging evidence has identified PRF as a biologically active visceral fat depot that secretes adipocytokines, inflammatory mediators, and other bioactive molecules, and thereby contributes to ...

Biology of Beige Adipocyte and Possible Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Isoliquiritigenin Enhances the Beige Adipocyte Potential of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells by JNK Inhibition

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) can be isolated from fat tissue and have attracted interest for their potential therapeutic applications in metabolic disease.

Single cell analysis reveals immune cell-adipocyte crosstalk regulating the transcription of thermogenic adipocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Immune cells are vital constituents of the adipose microenvironment that influence both local and systemic lipid metabolism. Mice lacking IL10 have enhanced thermogenesis, but the roles of specific cell types in the metabolic response to IL10 remain to ...

Investigating interactions between epicardial adipose tissue and cardiac myocytes: what can we learn from different approaches? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Some cardiovascular conditions can be modulated by lifestyle factors such as increased exercise or a healthier diet, but many require surgical or pharmacological ...

From fibro/adipogenic progenitors to adipocytes: Understanding adipogenesis in muscle degeneration for disease modulation

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 19, Page 5273-5297, October 1, 2025.
Abstract figure legend Fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are cells resident in the muscle (skeletal and cardiac) niche. FAPs are active participants in the process of muscle degeneration in cardiovascular and neuromuscular diseases. Here, the accumulation of fatty and fibrous tissue is a hallmark.
