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.

The Beige Adipocyte as a Therapy for Metabolic Diseases [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Adipose tissue is traditionally categorized into white and brown relating to their function and morphology. 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 more energetically active, with a greater number of ...

Thermal stress induces glycolytic beige fat formation via a myogenic state. [PDF]
, 2019 Environmental cues profoundly affect cellular plasticity in multicellular organisms. For instance, exercise promotes a glycolytic-to-oxidative fibre-type switch in skeletal muscle, and cold acclimation induces beige adipocyte biogenesis in adipose tissue.

Intra-abdominal adipose tissue of laboratory mice adapted to different temperature regimes [PDF]
, 2018 For the first time the presence of beige adipocytes, cellularity, basic metabolic parameters of perigonadal abdominal fat have studied in autbred laboratory mice kept at different temperature regimes: 1) 30°С (thermoneutral zone) and 2) regular daily 8 ...

Sulforaphane induces adipocyte browning and promotes glucose and lipid utilization [PDF]
, 2016 Scope: Obesity is closely related to the imbalance of white adipose tissue storing excess calories, and brown adipose tissue dissipating energy to produce heat in mammals.

Adipocyte HDAC4 activation leads to beige adipocyte expansion and reduced adiposity [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2018 Numerous studies have suggested that beige adipocyte abundance is correlated with improved metabolic performance, but direct evidence showing that beige adipocyte expansion protects animals from the development of obesity is missing. Previously, we have described that the liver kinase b1 (LKB1) regulates beige adipocyte renaissance in subcutaneous ...

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.

A Genetic Model to Study the Contribution of Brown and Brite Adipocytes to Metabolism
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: UCP1-dependent thermogenesis is studied to define new strategies to ameliorate obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, animal models are mostly limited to germline mutations of UCP1, which can effect adaptive changes in UCP1-independent pathways ...
