Lipid Transport in Brown Adipocyte Thermogenesis. [PDF]
Non-shivering thermogenesis is an energy demanding process that primarily occurs in brown and beige adipose tissue. Beyond regulating body temperature, these thermogenic adipocytes regulate systemic glucose and lipid homeostasis.

Identification of brown adipocyte progenitors
Today’s therapy against obesity uses life style changing and/or medication, but is little promising so far. Therefore it is important to develop new and successful therapeutically strategies against obesity. Nowadays brown adipose tissue gives hope to develop new therapeutically strategies and therapies against obesity because of its energy combusting ...

Extracellular calcium modulates brown adipocyte differentiation and identity
Brown adipocytes are important in regulating non-shivering thermogenesis, whole body glucose and lipid homeostasis. Increasing evidence supports an important role of metabolites as well as macro- and micronutrients in brown adipocyte differentiation and ...

Epigenetic Regulators of White Adipocyte Browning [PDF]
Adipocytes play an essential role in maintaining energy homeostasis in mammals. The primary function of white adipose tissue (WAT) is to store energy; for brown adipose tissue (BAT), primary function is to release fats in the form of heat.

Nesfatin-1 promotes brown adipocyte phenotype [PDF]
Nesfatin-1, an 82 amino acid gastric peptide, is involved in regulation of food uptake and in multiple metabolic activities. Whether nesfatin-1 modulates the differentiation and lipid metabolism of brown adipocytes remains unknown.

Regulation of white and brown adipocyte differentiation by RhoGAP DLC1. [PDF]
Adipose tissues constitute an important component of metabolism, the dysfunction of which can cause obesity and type II diabetes. Here we show that differentiation of white and brown adipocytes requires Deleted in Liver Cancer 1 (DLC1), a Rho GTPase ...

Deconstructing cold-induced brown adipocyte neogenesis in mice. [PDF]
Cold-exposure triggers neogenesis in classic interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) that involves activation of b1-adrenergic receptors, proliferation of PDGFRA+ adipose tissue stromal cells (ASCs), and recruitment of immune cells whose phenotypes are ...

Diet-Induced Adipocyte Browning [PDF]
The adipocyte browning process is a phenomenon that consists in the molecular and morphological remodeling of preadipocytes or mature white adipocytes into multilocular beige fat cells expressing thermogenesis-associated genes. Adipocyte browning may occur physiologically, mainly upon cold or exercise stimulation.

We are pleased to present in this issue of Cell Metabolism a review series on brown adipocytes. Until recently, brown adipose tissue (BAT) was principally studied by a handful of investigators focused on rodents and newborn mammals, and, at times, their work was deemed more an exercise in scientific curiosity than an issue relevant to human health.
