MicroRNAs in brown and beige fat
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2019Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy as heat and its activity correlates with leanness in human adults. Understanding the mechanisms behind the activation of BAT and the process of "browning", i.e. the appearance of inducible brown adipocytes called beige or brite (brown-in-white) cells in white adipose tissue (WAT), is of great interest for ...

Regulation of brown and beige fat by microRNAs
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2017MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules consisting of approximately 20 to 22 nucleotides. They play a very important role in the regulation of gene expression. miRNAs can be found in different species and a variety of organs and tissues including adipose tissue.

Brown and beige fat: From molecules to physiology
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2019The recent re-discovery of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and even more recent discovery of the browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) in humans have generated intense scientific interest in the role of adipose tissue as potential target against obesity and its metabolic complications.

Common traits between the beige fat-inducing stimuli
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2018Adipose tissues play an essential role in regulating the metabolic homeostasis and can be found in almost all parts of the body. Excessive adiposity leads to obesity and can contribute to metabolic and other disorders. Adipocytes show remarkable plasticity in their function, which can be pushed toward energy storage, or energy expenditure-a `browning ...

Activated Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulate Beige Fat Biogenesis [PDF]
Cell, 2015 Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), an innate source of the type 2 cytokines interleukin (IL)-5 and -13, participate in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Although type 2 immunity is critically important for mediating metabolic adaptations to environmental cold, the functions of ILC2s in beige or brown fat development are poorly defined.

Parkin mediates mitophagy during beige-to-white fat conversion
Science Signaling, 2018Blocking Parkin-mediated mitophagy may help beige fat retain its thermogenic properties (Lu et al ., in 24 April 2018 issue).

Dietary fatty acids activate or deactivate brown and beige fat
Life Sciences, 2023Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige fat have been documented to rapidly consume fatty acids (FAs) rather than deposit of lipid, and they have high capacity to dissipate energy via nonshivering thermogenesis, making BAT and beige fat potential organs to fight obesity and related chronic diseases.

[Histamine stimulates thermogenesis of brown and beige fat].
Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2021β3-adrenergic agonists induce adaptive thermogenesis and promote beiging of white fat. However, it remains unclear which metabolites mediate the stimulatory effects of β3-adrenergic agonists on thermogenesis of brown and beige fat. In this study, adipose tissue was isolated from 8-week-old C57/BL6J male mice by intraperitoneal administration of β3 ...

Econutrition, brown and beige fat tissue and obesity.
Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition, 2021Obesity is caused by excessive fat accumulation or abnormal fat distribution and has become one of the biggest health challenges worldwide. Considering the high thermogenic ability of brown fat tissue (BAT) and the plasticity of fat tissue, to induce the browning of white fat tissue (WAT), so increasing BAT activity provides an attractive option for ...
