Rna M6a Methylation Regulates Glycolysis of Beige Fat and Contributes to Systemic Metabolic Homeostasis [PDF]
Advanced Science, 2023 N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification has been implicated in the progression of obesity and metabolic diseases. However, its impact on beige fat biology is not well understood.

Iron chelation increases beige fat differentiation and metabolic activity, preventing and treating obesity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Beige and brown fat consume glucose and lipids to produce heat, using uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). It is thought that full activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) may increase total daily energy expenditure by 20%.

Transcriptional repression of beige fat innervation via a YAP/TAZ-S100B axis [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Sympathetic innervation is essential for the development of functional beige fat that maintains body temperature and metabolic homeostasis, yet the molecular mechanisms controlling this innervation remain largely unknown. Here, we show that adipocyte YAP/

IL-25–induced shifts in macrophage polarization promote development of beige fat and improve metabolic homeostasis in mice [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2021 Beige fat dissipates energy and functions as a defense against cold and obesity, but the mechanism for its development is unclear. We found that interleukin (IL)-25 signaling through its cognate receptor, IL-17 receptor B (IL-17RB), increased in adipose ...

The muscle-enriched myokine Musclin impairs beige fat thermogenesis and systemic energy homeostasis via Tfr1/PKA signaling in male mice [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Skeletal muscle and thermogenic adipose tissue are both critical for the maintenance of body temperature in mammals. However, whether these two tissues are interconnected to modulate thermogenesis and metabolic homeostasis in response to thermal stress ...

Creatine kinase B mediates UCP1-independent beige fat thermogenesis via the futile creatine cycle in mice [PDF]
Molecular MetabolismObjectives: Creatine kinase B (CKB) is the main isoenzyme driving creatine kinase (CK) activity in classical brown adipocytes. However, the specific CK isoenzyme active in beige adipocytes remains unknown.

Hormones, heat, and health: a comprehensive review of sex-based differences in brown and beige fat biology [PDF]
Biology of Sex DifferencesThis review takes a close look at the biology of brown and beige fat, not just as thermogenic tissues, but as active metabolic organs influenced by sex, hormones, age, and even environment.

Intricate Transcriptional Networks of Classical Brown and Beige Fat Cells
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015 Brown adipocytes are a specialized cell type that is critical for adaptive thermogenesis, energy homeostasis and metabolism. In response to cold, both classical brown fat and the newly identified beige or brite cells are activated by β-adrenergic ...

Neuregulin 4 mediates the metabolic benefits of mild cold exposure by promoting beige fat thermogenesis [PDF]
JCI InsightInterorgan crosstalk via secreted hormones and metabolites is a fundamental aspect of mammalian metabolic physiology. Beyond the highly specialized endocrine cells, peripheral tissues are emerging as an important source of metabolic hormones that ...
