Metabolic regulation and the anti-obesity perspectives of human brown fat
Activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans increase glucose and fatty acid clearance as well as resting metabolic rate, whereas a prolonged elevation of BAT activity improves insulin sensitivity.

DEPTOR loss impairs brown adipocyte development in vitro but has limited impacts in mice
Objectives: The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth and metabolism. In mice, activation of mTOR controls cold adaptation by promoting the recruitment and the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT ...

TGF-beta/Smad3 signaling regulates brown adipocyte induction in white adipose tissue
Recent identification of active brown fat reserves in adult humans has stimulated interest in the role of brown adipocytes in energy homeostasis. In addition, there is accumulating evidence to support the concept of an alteration in energy balance ...

Dynamic regulation of genes involved in mitochondrial DNA replication and transcription during mouse brown fat cell differentiation and recruitment. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Brown adipocytes are specialised in dissipating energy through adaptive thermogenesis, whereas white adipocytes are specialised in energy storage.

High fat intake leads to acute postprandial exposure to circulating endotoxin in type 2 diabetic subjects [PDF]
OBJECTIVE-To evaluate the changes in circulating endotoxin after a high-saturated fat meal to determine whether these effects depend on metabolic disease state.

Ablation of NG2 proteoglycan leads to deficits in brown fat function and to adult onset obesity.
Obesity is a major health problem worldwide. We are studying the causes and effects of obesity in C57Bl/6 mice following genetic ablation of NG2, a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan widely expressed in progenitor cells and also in adipocytes.
