The adipose tissue: something more than a reservoir of energy

Grasas y Aceites, 2009
Adipose tissue is a reservoir of energy and also an organ that contributes to the aesthetics and health of human body working as an endocrine tissue. White adipose tissue, which is formed by unilocular adipose cells, can modify organic homeostasis by ...

Spatial Metabolomics Reveals the Effects of Dietary Capsaicin Intervention on Interscapular Adipose Tissue Metabolome in Mice

Foods
Capsaicin is a polyphenol with a well-known anti-obesity potential, which could activate brown adipose tissue and promote the browning of white adipose tissue.

Abnormal brown adipose tissue mitochondrial structure and function in IL10 deficiency

EBioMedicine, 2019
Background: Inflammation is the most relevant mechanism linking obesity with insulin-resistance and metabolic disease. It impacts the structure and function of tissues and organs involved in metabolism, such as the liver, pancreatic islets and the ...

Analysis of circadian pattern reveals tissue-specific alternative transcription in leptin signaling pathway [PDF]

, 2007
*Background* It has been previously reported that most mammalian genes display a circadian oscillation in their baseline expression. Consequently, the phase and amplitude of each component of a signal transduction cascade has downstream ...

Dielectric properties measurements of brown and white adipose tissue in rats from 0.5 to 10 GHz [PDF]

, 2016
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an important role in whole body metabolism and with appropriate stimulus could potentially mediate weight gain and insulin sensitivity.

Brown adipose tissue and bone [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity Supplements, 2015
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is capable of transforming chemically stored energy, in the form of triglycerides, into heat. Recent studies have shown that metabolically active BAT is present in a large proportion of adult humans, where its activity correlates with a favorable metabolic status. Hence, the tissue is now regarded as an interesting target for

Perilipin regulates the thermogenic actions of norepinephrine in brown adipose tissue [PDF]

, 2007
In response to cold, norepinephrine (NE)-induced triacylglycerol hydrolysis (lipolysis) in adipocytes of brown adipose tissue (BAT) provides fatty acid substrates to mitochondria for heat generation (adaptive thermogenesis).

Roles of FGFs as adipokines in adipose tissue development, remodeling, and metabolism

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
White and brown adipose tissues, which store and burn lipids, respectively, play critical roles in energy homeostasis. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are signaling proteins with diverse functions in development, metabolism, and neural function. Among
