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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Brown adipose tissue of cafeteria-fed rats

open access: yes, 1981
Feeding a "cafeteria" diet for 2 wk to male Holtzman rats resulted in a weight gain that was, on average, only slightly more than that of control rats fed a regular chow diet.

Heart Failure and Epicardial Adipose Tissue

open access: yes, 2020
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been investigated in patients with both systolic and diastolic heart failure and suggested to play a pathogenic role, although results are not univocal.

Three years with adult human brown adipose tissue

open access: yes, 2010
The presence of active brown adipose tissue in adult humans has been recognized in general physiology only since 2007. The intervening three years established that the depots originally observed by (18)F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (

Regulation of human brown adipose tissue activity [PDF]

open access: yes
The rising prevalence of obesity globally poses significant morbidity and mortality, as obesity increases the risk of developing a number of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

mmunohistochemical Identification And Quantification Of Brown Adipocytes In Human Adipose Tissue.

open access: yesمجله كليه طب الكندي, 2016
Background: Obesity is a worldwide challenge and is closely connected to many metabolic diseases. Two types of adipose tissue, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) have been identified.

Adipose tissue derived factors in obesity, inflammation & energy homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes
Obesity is the foremost contributory factor in the progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, chronic inflammation, through activation of innate immunity is proposed to link obesity, insulin resistance and T2DM.

Brown adipose tissue—a new role in humans?

open access: yes, 2010
New targets for pharmacological interventions are of great importance to combat the epidemic of obesity. Brown adipose tissue could potentially represent one such target.

Brown vs. White Adipose Tissue: Brown Adipose Tissue is a Source of Multipoint Stem Cells with Greater Propensity for Neurogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Spinal cord injuries can lead to life long debilitations, in some cases, paralysis. Patients suffering with spinal cord injury, however, may find hope for improved functionality of debilitated limbs via cell transplantation.

Brown and beige adipose tissue‐derived metabokine and lipokine inter‐organ signalling in health and disease

open access: yesExperimental Physiology
Adipose tissue has an established endocrine function through the secretion of adipokines. However, a role for bioactive metabolites and lipids, termed metabokines and lipokines, is emerging in adipose tissue‐mediated autocrine, paracrine and endocrine ...
