Near-Infrared Photoluminescent Carbon Nanotubes for Imaging of Brown Fat
Scientific Reports, 2017 Near-infrared photoluminescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are expected to provide effectual bio-imaging tools, although, as yet, only limited applications have been reported.

Non-invasive quantification of white and brown adipose tissues and liver fat content by computed tomography in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 ObjectivesObesity and its distribution pattern are important factors for the prediction of the onset of diabetes in humans. Since several mouse models are suitable to study the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes the aim was to validate a novel computed ...

Brown-fat paucity due to impaired BMP signalling induces compensatory browning of white fat [PDF]
Nature, 2013 Maintenance of body temperature is essential for the survival of homeotherms. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specialized fat tissue that is dedicated to thermoregulation. Owing to its remarkable capacity to dissipate stored energy and its demonstrated presence in adult humans, BAT holds great promise for the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Physiological Research, 2018 The high prevalence of obesity and related metabolic complications has inspired research on adipose tissues. Three kinds of adipose tissues are identified in mammals: brown adipose tissue (BAT), beige or brite adipose tissue and white adipose tissue (WAT)

Brown fat biology and thermogenesis
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011 Brown fat (brown adipose tissue, BAT) primary function is to produce heat. There is now compelling evidence to indicate that brown fat cells in some BAT depots share their predecessor cells with myocytes. Brown adipocyte (trans)differentiation depends on various receptors / transcription factors that include peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g

The lipid sensor GPR120 promotes brown fat activation and FGF21 release from adipocytes
Nature Communications, 2016 The thermogenic activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and browning of white adipose tissue are important components of energy expenditure. Here we show that GPR120, a receptor for polyunsaturated fatty acids, promotes brown fat activation. Using RNA-seq

Genetic backgrounds determine brown remodeling of white fat in rodents
Molecular Metabolism, 2016 Objective: Genetic background largely contributes to the complexity of metabolic responses and dysfunctions. Induction of brown adipose features in white fat, known as brown remodeling, has been appreciated as a promising strategy to offset the positive ...
