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 ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996 Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) supplies brown adipose tissue with fatty acids for nonshivering thermogenesis. In brown adipose tissue of the Djungarian hamster we studied i) the molecular mechanisms involved in cold-induced stimulation of LPL activity, ii) the

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 ...

Brown Adipose Tissue in a Newborn [PDF]
Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2008 A premature infant boy of 35 weeks and 4 days weighing 2605 g was found to have bilateral supraclavicular masses at 13 days of life. He had persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn and thrombocytopenia. Delivery was by cesarean section for nonreassuring fetal status, and Apgar scores were 5 at 1 minute and 8 at 5 minutes. Initial radiographs

Human Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2010 The BAT organ is unique in that it has evolved to safely dissipate large amounts of chemical energy--a quality that might be harnessed to help humans deal with a dangerously hypercaloric environment and still remain in good health.

Brown adipose tissue and thermogenesis [PDF]
Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation, 2014 Abstract The growing understanding of adipose tissue as an important endocrine organ with multiple metabolic functions has directed the attention to the (patho)physiology of distinct fat depots. Brown adipose tissue (BAT), in contrast to bona fide white fat, can dissipate significant amounts of chemical energy through uncoupled ...

Thermogenic ability of uncoupling protein 1 in beige adipocytes in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Chronic adrenergic activation leads to the emergence of beige adipocytes in some depots of white adipose tissue in mice. Despite their morphological similarities to brown adipocytes and their expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a thermogenic ...

Recent progress in the study of brown adipose tissue
Cell & Bioscience, 2011 Brown adipose tissue in mammals plays a critical role in maintaining energy balance by thermogenesis, which means dissipating energy in the form of heat.
