mTORC2 sustains thermogenesis via Akt-induced glucose uptake and glycolysis in brown adipose tissue [PDF]

, 2016
Activation of non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been proposed as an anti-obesity treatment. Moreover, cold-induced glucose uptake could normalize blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant patients.

Body temperature and its regulation

Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2014
Abstract Humans are homeotherms, i.e. they fix their temperature regardless of their environment. This is vital for normal cellular function and for metabolism to be independent of external temperature. The body has a warm ‘core’ and a cooler peripheral ‘shell’ whose role is to regulate heat transfer in and out of the core.

Charge Characteristics of Agouti-Related Protein Implicate Potent Involvement of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Metabolic Function. [PDF]

, 2019
The endogenous melanocortin peptide agouti-related protein (AgRP) plays a well-known role in foraging, but its contribution to metabolic regulation is less understood.

Mosquito net as an environmental aid in the management of pemphigus

Healthcare in Low-resource Settings, 2022
Dear Editor Pemphigus is often difficult to manage disease, which involves, apart from the pharmacological management, maintaining the environmental temperature and humidity within a narrow range as the loss of skin easily result in thermal and ...

The effect of thermal insulation pads on heat flux, physical effort and perceived exertion during endurance exercise in cool environments

Fashion and Textiles, 2018
To determine the effects of thermal insulation pads on clothing surface temperature, physical effort and perceived exertion during endurance exercise in cool environments two different pants (PCOOL, PINSUL) were designed: PCOOL (Insulation: 0.055 clo ...
