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.

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.

Roles of FGFs as adipokines in adipose tissue development, remodeling, and metabolism

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
White and brown adipose tissues, which store and burn lipids, respectively, play critical roles in energy homeostasis. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are signaling proteins with diverse functions in development, metabolism, and neural function. Among

Identification of biomarkers of brown adipose tissue aging highlights the role of dysfunctional energy and nucleotide metabolism pathways

Scientific Reports, 2021
Brown adipose tissue function declines during aging and may contribute to the onset of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. Only limited understanding of the mechanisms leading to the metabolic impairment of brown adipocytes during aging ...

Brown adipose tissue monocytes support tissue expansion

Nature Communications, 2021
Adipose tissue is composed of a number of adipocytes and a number of other cells including immune cells. Here the authors use single-cell sequencing of murine brown adipose tissue immune cells and describe multiple macrophage and monocyte subsets and ...

Perilipin regulates the thermogenic actions of norepinephrine in brown adipose tissue [PDF]

, 2007
In response to cold, norepinephrine (NE)-induced triacylglycerol hydrolysis (lipolysis) in adipocytes of brown adipose tissue (BAT) provides fatty acid substrates to mitochondria for heat generation (adaptive thermogenesis).
