Functional brown adipose tissue in healthy adults.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 Using positron-emission tomography (PET), we found that cold-induced glucose uptake was increased by a factor of 15 in paracervical and supraclavicular adipose tissue in five healthy subjects.

METTL3 is essential for postnatal development of brown adipose tissue and energy expenditure in mice
Nature Communications, 2020 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) undergoes rapid postnatal development and then protects against cold and obesity into adulthood. However, the molecular mechanism that determines postnatal development and maturation of BAT is largely unknown. Here we show that

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Physiological activation of myeloid p38 controls macrophage IL‐12 production and crosstalk to the liver by modulating hepatic FGF21, and subsequently, brown adipose tissue thermogenesis during obesity Abstract Obesity features excessive fat accumulation in several body tissues and induces a state of chronic low‐grade inflammation that contributes to ...

Casein Kinase 2—A Kinase that Inhibits Brown Fat Formation [PDF]
, 2015 In adipose tissue, there is a delicate balance between storing and expending energy. In this issue, Shinoda et al. (2015) use phosphoproteomics to identify casein kinase 2 (CK2) as a suppressor of brown adipocyte formation, providing insights into how ...
