Maintaining mitochondria in beige adipose tissue [PDF]
Adipocyte, 2019 Individual cell types vary enormously in the amount of different organelles they contain. One such organelle is the mitochondrion. Understanding how mitochondrial levels are controlled is essential since so many disease states seem to involve ...

The Gq signalling pathway inhibits brown and beige adipose tissue [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates nutritional energy as heat via the uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) and BAT activity correlates with leanness in human adults.

Beige Adipose Tissue Identification and Marker Specificity-Overview. [PDF]
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne), 2021 Adipose tissue (AT) is classified based on its location, physiological and functional characteristics. Although there is a clear demarcation of anatomical and molecular features specific to white (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), the factors that ...

Matrix-Assisted Transplantation of Functional Beige Adipose Tissue. [PDF]
Diabetes, 2015 Novel, clinically relevant, approaches to shift energy balance are urgently needed to combat metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. One promising approach has been the expansion of brown adipose tissues that express uncoupling protein (UCP) 1 ...

An update on the secretory functions of brown, white, and beige adipose tissue: Towards therapeutic applications. [PDF]
Rev Endocr Metab Disord, 2023 Adipose tissue, including white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT), and beige adipose tissue, is vital in modulating whole-body energy metabolism. While WAT primarily stores energy, BAT dissipates energy as heat for thermoregulation.

Direct lentivirus injection for fast and efficient gene transfer into brown and beige adipose tissue. [PDF]
J Biol Methods, 2016 Brown adipose tissue is a special type of fat contributing to energy expenditure in human newborns and adults. Moreover, subcutaneous white adipose tissue has a high capacity to adapt an energy-consuming, brown-like/beige phenotype. Here, we developed an

Brown and beige adipose tissue: a novel therapeutic strategy for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
Adipocyte, 2021 Mammalian adipose tissue can be divided into two major types, namely, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). According to classical view, the main function of WAT is to store excess energy in the form of triglycerides, while BAT is a ...

Overexpression of Adiponectin Receptor 1 Inhibits Brown and Beige Adipose Tissue Activity in Mice. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Adult humans and mice possess significant classical brown adipose tissues (BAT) and, upon cold-induction, acquire brown-like adipocytes in certain depots of white adipose tissues (WAT), known as beige adipose tissues or WAT browning/beiging.
