Assessment of brown adipose tissue function [PDF]

Frontiers 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 ...

Deceptive Brown Adipose Tissue

Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies
A 23-year-old female presented with headache, palpitation, and hypertensive spells. There was no similar family history. Twenty-four (24) hour urine testing showed elevated normetanephrine level with normal metanephrines [metanephrines 123 mcg/24 hrs ...

Brown adipose tissue whitening leads to brown adipocyte death and adipose tissue inflammation[S] [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2018
In mammals, white adipose tissue (WAT) stores and releases lipids, whereas brown adipose tissue (BAT) oxidizes lipids to fuel thermogenesis. In obese individuals, WAT undergoes profound changes; it expands, becomes dysfunctional, and develops a low-grade

BATLAS: Deconvoluting Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Recruitment and activation of thermogenic adipocytes have received increasing attention as a strategy to improve systemic metabolic control. The analysis of brown and brite adipocytes is complicated by the complexity of adipose tissue biopsies ...

Brown Adipose Tissue Growth and Development [PDF]

Scientifica, 2013
Brown adipose tissue is uniquely able to rapidly produce large amounts of heat through activation of uncoupling protein (UCP) 1. Maximally stimulated brown fat can produce 300 watts/kg of heat compared to 1 watt/kg in all other tissues.

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

Frontiers 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.

Renaissance of Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]

Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2011
The recent discovery of functional brown adipose tissue in human adults raised this tissue again into the focus of current investigations concerning human energy homeostasis. Brown fat is a key thermogenic tissue and is essential for non-shivering thermogenesis in the human newborn and hibernating mammals.

Sexual Dimorphism in Brown Adipose Tissue Activation and White Adipose Tissue Browning

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
The present narrative review gathers the studies reported so far, addressing sex differences in the effects of cold exposure, feeding pattern and age on brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and white adipose tissue (WAT) browning. In rodents, when exposed to decreasing temperatures, females activate thermogenesis earlier. Results obtained in humans

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

Frontiers 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.

Brown adipose tissue and bone [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity Supplements, 2015
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is capable of transforming chemically stored energy, in the form of triglycerides, into heat. Recent studies have shown that metabolically active BAT is present in a large proportion of adult humans, where its activity correlates with a favorable metabolic status. Hence, the tissue is now regarded as an interesting target for
