Thermogenic adipose tissue aging: Mechanisms and implications
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Adipose tissue undergoes significant anatomical and functional changes with aging, leading to an increased risk of metabolic diseases. Age-related changes in adipose tissue include overall defective adipogenesis, dysfunctional adipokine secretion ...

A Synergistic Antiobesity Effect by a Combination of Capsinoids and Cold Temperature Through Promoting Beige Adipocyte Biogenesis. [PDF]
, 2016 Beige adipocytes emerge postnatally within the white adipose tissue in response to certain environmental cues, such as chronic cold exposure. Because of its highly recruitable nature and relevance to adult humans, beige adipocytes have gained much ...

A percutaneous needle biopsy technique for sampling the supraclavicular brown adipose tissue depot of humans. [PDF]
, 2015 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been proposed as a potential target tissue against obesity and its related metabolic complications. Although the molecular and functional characteristics of BAT have been intensively studied in rodents, only a few studies ...

Brown and Beige Fat: Therapeutic Potential in Obesity
Indonesian Biomedical Journal, 2014 BACKGROUND: The epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes presents a serious challenge to scientific and biomedical communities worldwide. There has been an upsurge of interest in the adipocyte coincident with the onset of the obesity epidemic and the ...

TGF-β receptor 1 regulates progenitors that promote browning of white fat
Molecular Metabolism, 2018 Objective: Beige/brite adipose tissue displays morphological characteristics and beneficial metabolic traits of brown adipose tissue. Previously, we showed that TGF-β signaling regulates the browning of white adipose tissue. Here, we inquired whether TGF-

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.

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.

AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) activation by AICAR in human white adipocytes derived from pericardial white adipose tissue stem cells induces a partial beige-like phenotype [PDF]
, 2016 Beige adipocytes are special cells situated in the white adipose tissue. Beige adipocytes, lacking thermogenic cues, morphologically look quite similar to regular white adipocytes, but with a markedly different response to adrenalin.
