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 SocietiesA 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 ...

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.

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.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Segmentation from CT Images with A Semi-3D Neural Network [PDF]
2021 International Symposium ELMAR, 2021, pp. 87-90, 2022 Epicardial adipose tissue is a type of adipose tissue located between the heart wall and a protective layer around the heart called the pericardium. The volume and thickness of epicardial adipose tissue are linked to various cardiovascular diseases. It is shown to be an independent cardiovascular disease risk factor.

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

The Role of Pleura and Adipose in Lung Ultrasound AI [PDF]
LL-COVID19 2021. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 12969.
Springer, Cham, 2022 In this paper, we study the significance of the pleura and adipose tissue in lung ultrasound AI analysis. We highlight their more prominent appearance when using high-frequency linear (HFL) instead of curvilinear ultrasound probes, showing HFL reveals better pleura detail.

X-ray attenuation of adipose breast tissue: in-vitro and in-vivo measurements using spectral imaging [PDF]
Proc. SPIE 9412, Medical Imaging 2015, 94121U, 2021 The development of new x-ray imaging techniques often requires prior knowledge of tissue attenuation, but the sources of such information are sparse. We have measured the attenuation of adipose breast tissue using spectral imaging, in vitro and in vivo.
