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

Nature Communications, 2021
Beige and brown fat may influence systemic metabolism through secreted signals. Here the authors identify a panel of metabolites secreted from beige and brown fat cells, which signal to influence fat tissue and skeletal muscle metabolism and have anti ...

Brown adipose tissue and glucose homeostasis – the link between climate change and the global rise in obesity and diabetes

Adipocyte, 2019
There is increasing evidence that the global rise in temperature is contributing to the onset of diabetes, which could be mediated by a concomitant reduction in brown fat activity.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

A New Twist on Brown Fat Metabolism [PDF]

Cell, 2009
The transcriptional coactivator PGC-1alpha promotes mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenic programs in brown adipose tissue. Pan et al. (2009) identify the transcription factor twist-1 as a negative feedback regulator of PGC-1alpha.

Erythropoietin modulates hepatic inflammation, glucose homeostasis, and soluble epoxide hydrolase and epoxides in high‐fat diet‐induced obese mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Erythropoietin administration suppresses hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression, leading to increased CYP‐derived epoxides. This is associated with a shift in hepatic macrophage polarization characterized by reduced M1 markers and increased M2 markers, along with reduced hepatic inflammation, suppressed hepatic lipogenesis, and attenuated ...

An electron-microscopic study on lipogenesis [PDF]

, 1958
With the purpose to elucidate morphologically the site where fat synthesis takes place in the cell, electron-microscopic observation has been conducted on the interscapular brown fat tissue of mice at various periods of carbohydrate introduction after ...

Recurrent Hypothermia and Autonomic Dysfunction Secondary to Shapiro Syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 44‐year‐old man presented with recurrent hypothermia, diaphoresis and hypertension. Extensive investigation for infectious, inflammatory, metabolic and endocrine aetiologies was negative. MR scan of the brain demonstrated no lesions but revealed callosal dysgenesis, consistent with Shapiro syndrome.

Intricate Transcriptional Networks of Classical Brown and Beige Fat Cells

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015
Brown adipocytes are a specialized cell type that is critical for adaptive thermogenesis, energy homeostasis and metabolism. In response to cold, both classical brown fat and the newly identified beige or brite cells are activated by β-adrenergic ...

Combating Obesity With Thermogenic Fat: Current Challenges and Advancements

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Brown fat and beige fat are known as thermogenic fat due to their contribution to non-shivering thermogenesis in mammals following cold stimulation. Beige fat is unique due to its origin and its development in white fat.

FGF2 disruption enhances thermogenesis in brown and beige fat to protect against adiposity and hepatic steatosis

Molecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) has been reported to play divergent roles in white adipogenic differentiation, however, whether it regulates thermogenesis of fat tissues remains largely unknown.
