Adrenoceptors in white, brown, and brite adipocytes [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2019 Adrenoceptors play an important role in adipose tissue biology and physiology that includes regulating the synthesis and storage of triglycerides (lipogenesis), the breakdown of stored triglycerides (lipolysis), thermogenesis (heat production), glucose metabolism, and the secretion of adipocyte‐derived hormones that can control whole‐body energy ...

Effects of exercise on brown and beige adipocytes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2019 Physical exercise leads to beneficial effects in numerous tissues and organ systems and offers protection against obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies have investigated the role of exercise on brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT), and have indicated marked adaptations to each tissue with exercise.

Extracellular calcium modulates brown adipocyte differentiation and identity
Scientific Reports, 2017 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 ...

Bmp4 Promotes a Brown to White-like Adipocyte Shift
Cell Reports, 2016 While Bmp4 has a well-established role in the commitment of mesenchymal stem cells into the adipogenic lineage, its role in brown adipocyte formation and activity is not well defined.
