Adipocyte lipid synthesis coupled to neuronal control of thermogenic programming [PDF]

open access: gold, 2017
BACKGROUND: The de novo biosynthesis of fatty acids (DNL) through fatty acid synthase (FASN) in adipocytes is exquisitely regulated by nutrients, hormones, fasting, and obesity in mice and humans. However, the functions of DNL in adipocyte biology and in

The dorsal aortic compartment is a developmental source of brown adipose tissue in mice [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
White adipose tissue primarily stores energy while brown adipose tissue dissipates energy as heat, holding promise for therapeutic use. Brown adipose tissue in the anterior trunk is believed to derive from the somitic mesoderm, although some depots are ...

Invited review: Pre- and postnatal adipose tissue development in farm animals: from stem cells to adipocyte physiology [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal, 2016
Both white and brown adipose tissues are recognized to be differently involved in energy metabolism and are also able to secrete a variety of factors called adipokines that are involved in a wide range of physiological and metabolic functions.

An update on brown adipose tissue and obesity intervention: Function, regulation and therapeutic implications

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Overweight and obesity have become a world-wide problem. However, effective intervention approaches are limited. Brown adipose tissue, which helps maintain body temperature and contributes to thermogenesis, is dependent on uncoupling protein1.

Fatty Acid Metabolite Profiling Reveals Oxylipins as Markers of Brown but Not Brite Adipose Tissue

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Metabolites of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are important signaling molecules implicated in the control of adipogenesis and energy balance regulation.

Thermogenic ability of uncoupling protein 1 in beige adipocytes in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Chronic adrenergic activation leads to the emergence of beige adipocytes in some depots of white adipose tissue in mice. Despite their morphological similarities to brown adipocytes and their expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a thermogenic ...

Adipose tissue plasticity in pheochromocytoma patients suggests a role of the splicing machinery in human adipose browning

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Adipose tissue from pheochromocytoma patients acquires brown fat features, making it a valuable model for studying the mechanisms that control thermogenic adipose plasticity in humans. Transcriptomic analyses revealed a massive downregulation of

Assessment of brown adipose tissue function

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
In this review we discuss practical considerations for the assessment of brown adipose tissue in rodent models, focusing on mice. The central aim of the review is to provide a critical appraisal of the utility of specialised techniques for assessing ...

The kallikrein–kinin pathway as a mechanism for auto-control of brown adipose tissue activity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Brown adipose tissue, known produce heat by metabolizing fat, is also secretes molecules capable of communicating with other organs. Here the authors show that brown adipose tissue secretes kininogen, a component of heat system regulation, that provides ...
