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 ...

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2012 Obesity is currently a global pandemic, and is associated with increased mortality and co-morbidities including many metabolic diseases. Obesity is characterized by an increase in adipose mass due to increased energy intake, decreased energy expenditure,

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

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 ...
