miR-155 regulates differentiation of brown and beige adipocytes via a bistable circuit [PDF]
Brown adipocytes are a primary site of energy expenditure and reside not only in classical brown adipose tissue but can also be found in white adipose tissue.

Presence of the brown fat-specific mitochondrial uncoupling protein and iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase activity in subcutaneous adipose tissue of neonatal lambs [PDF]
Subcutaneous adipose tissue of neonatal lambs has been examined for the presence of markers diagnostic of thermogenic brown fat. Uncoupling protein, uncoupling protein mRNA, and iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase activity were each detected in subcutaneous ...

Global gene expression profiling of brown to white adipose tissue transformation in sheep reveals novel transcriptional components linked to adipose remodeling [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Large mammals are capable of thermoregulation shortly after birth due to the presence of brown adipose tissue (BAT). The majority of BAT disappears after birth and is replaced by white adipose tissue (WAT).

Reduced maximum capacity of glycolysis in brown adipose tissue of genetically obese, diabetic (db/db) mice and its restoration following treatment with a thermogenic β-adrenoceptor agonist [PDF]
The maximal activities of the key glycolytic enzymes hexokinase and 6-phosphofructokinase, were reduced in brown adipose tissue in db/db mice compared to their lean littermates.

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