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.

Brown adipose tissue is associated with healthier body fat distribution and metabolic benefits independent of regional adiposity

Cell Reports Medicine, 2021
Summary The association of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and body fat distribution and their combined effects on metabolic health in humans remains unknown.

Fatty Acid Metabolite Profiling Reveals Oxylipins as Markers of Brown but Not Brite Adipose Tissue

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Metabolites of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are important signaling molecules implicated in the control of adipogenesis and energy balance regulation.

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

Energy metabolism in brown adipose tissue

The FEBS Journal, 2021
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is well known to burn calories through uncoupled respiration, producing heat to maintain body temperature. This ‘calorie wasting’ feature makes BAT a special tissue, which can function as an ‘energy sink’ in mammals.

Brown and beige adipose tissue regulate systemic metabolism through a metabolite interorgan signaling axis

Nature Communications, 2021
Brown and beige adipose tissue are emerging as distinct endocrine organs. These tissues are functionally associated with skeletal muscle, adipose tissue metabolism and systemic energy expenditure, suggesting an interorgan signaling network.

Assessment of brown adipose tissue function

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 ...

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 ...

Multiple regulatory steps are involved in the control of lipoprotein lipase activity in brown adipose tissue.

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

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.
