Activation of classical brown adipocytes in the adult human perirenal depot is highly correlated with PRDM16-EHMT1 complex expression.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Brown fat generates heat to protect against cold and obesity. Adrenergic stimulation activates the thermogenic program of brown adipocytes. Although the bioactivity of brown adipose tissue in adult humans had been assumed to very low, several studies ...

Electron Density of Adipose Tissues Determined by Phase-Contrast Computed Tomography Provides a Measure for Mitochondrial Density and Fat Content

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Phase-contrast computed tomography (PCCT) is an X-ray-based imaging method measuring differences in the refractive index during tissue passage. While conventional X-ray techniques rely on the absorption of radiation due to differing tissue-specific ...

Systemic and Local Adiposity in the Bone Marrow Microenvironment Associated With Improved Prognosis in Hodgkin Lymphoma: Imaging and Molecular Analysis

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of systemic and bone marrow‐specific adiposity in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Body Mass Index was associated with bone marrow (BM) involvement, relapse, and mortality (1). In contrast, increased yellow marrow density was associated with poorer prognosis (2).

Brown Adipose Tissue Growth and Development

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.

Inverse association between obesity and intestinal endometriosis: Findings from a cross‐sectional study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study evaluates the association between obesity and the presence of bowel endometriosis in patients undergoing surgery. Methods A retrospective cross‐sectional observational study was conducted with patients treated between September 2023 and December 2024, at a specialized endometriosis outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital ...

Probiotics‐derived postbiotics improve host metabolic syndrome by activating the adipocyte thermogenic signaling pathway in high‐fat diet‐fed mice

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates how probiotics‐derived postbiotics (PLBK®1–5) combat high‐fat diet‐induced obesity. Postbiotics remodel gut microbiota, boosting beneficial metabolites. These metabolites activate adipocyte thermogenesis (Ucp1/AMPK pathway), resulting in reduced body weight, improved insulin sensitivity, and alleviated hepatic steatosis in ...

The Role and Therapeutic Potential of Voltage‐Gated Potassium Channel Kv1.3 in Metabolism‐Related Disorders

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past three decades, the global burden of common metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis has steadily increased, becoming a serious public health issue that poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Potassium channels, particularly the voltage‐gated Kv1.3 subtype, serve as critical regulators of cellular
