PexRAP inhibits PRDM16-mediated thermogenic gene expression [PDF]
, 2017 How the nuclear receptor PPARγ regulates the development of two functionally distinct types of adipose tissue, brown and white fat, as well as the browning of white fat, remains unclear.

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 ...

A Method to Induce Brown/Beige Adipocyte Differentiation from Murine Preadipocytes
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Adipocytes exhibit different morphological and functional characteristics, depending on their anatomical location, developmental origin, and stimulus. While white adipocytes tend to accumulate energy as triglycerides, brown and beige adipocytes tend to ...

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.

The Role of Thermogenic Fat Tissue in Energy Consumption
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022 Mammalian adipose tissues are broadly divided into white adipose tissue (WAT) and thermogenic fat tissue (brown adipose tissue and beige adipose tissue).

Sympathetic nerve innervation is required for beigeing in white fat [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 2019 It is increasingly recognized that activation of beige adipocyte thermogenesis by pharmacological or genetic approaches increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) directly innervating brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT) plays a key role in promoting nonshivering thermogenesis.

The great roundleaf bat (Hipposideros armiger) as a good model for cold-induced browning of intra-abdominal white adipose tissue. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Inducing beige fat from white adipose tissue (WAT) is considered to be a shortcut to weight loss and increasingly becoming a key area in research into treatments for obesity and related diseases.

Mixed Spices at Culinary Doses Have Prebiotic Effects in Healthy Adults: A Pilot Study. [PDF]
, 2019 Spices were used as food preservatives prior to the advent of refrigeration, suggesting the possibility of effects on microbiota. Previous studies have shown prebiotic activities in animals and in vitro, but there has not been a demonstration of ...

Cold-Inducible SIRT6 Regulates Thermogenesis of Brown and Beige Fat [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2017 Promoting development and function of brown and beige fat may reduce obesity. Here, we show that fat SIRT6 expression is markedly induced by cold exposure and a β-adrenergic agonist. Deletion of SIRT6 in adipose tissue impairs the thermogenic function of brown adipocytes, causing a morphological "whitening" of brown fat, reduced oxygen (O2) consumption,
