Novel Browning Agents, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Potentials of Brown Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Nonshivering thermogenesis is the process of biological heat production in mammals and is primarily mediated by brown adipose tissue (BAT). Through ubiquitous expression of uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) on the mitochondrial inner membrane, BAT displays uncoupling of fuel combustion and ATP production in order to dissipate energy as heat.

The formation mechanism of brown dwarfs [PDF]
We present results from the first hydrodynamical star formation calculation to demonstrate that brown dwarfs are a natural and frequent product of the collapse and fragmentation of a turbulent molecular cloud. The brown dwarfs form via the fragmentation of dense molecular gas in unstable multiple systems and are ejected from the dense gas before they ...

Pericarp browning occurs widely in postharvest pomegranate fruit, but little is known about its mechanism. In this study, ‘Baiyushizi’, a browning-sensitive cultivar, was used to investigate the physiological and genetic changes during pericarp browning.

Mechanisms associated with the depigmentation of brown eggshells: a review
Eggshell color is an important shell quality trait that influences consumer preference. It is also of particular importance with respect to sexual signaling and the physiological and mechanical properties of shell pigment. Pigments include protoporphyrin IX, biliverdin, and traces of biliverdin zinc chelates, with brown eggs being notably rich in ...

The photoprotection mechanism in the black–brown pigment eumelanin
The natural black–brown pigment eumelanin protects humans from high-energy UV photons by absorbing and rapidly dissipating their energy before proteins and DNA are damaged. The extremely weak fluorescence of eumelanin points toward nonradiative relaxation on the timescale of picoseconds or shorter.

Multi-Omics Landscape of DNA Methylation Regulates Browning in “Fuji” Apple
Browning seriously affects the quality of fresh-cut fruits, and its mechanism was thought to be polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the past. A way of non-different PPO browning was found in our previous studies.

The Mechanism of White and Brown Adipocyte Differentiation [PDF]
Obesity gives vent to many diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, being considered as the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The pathogenesis and pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome can well be understood by studying the molecular mechanisms that control the development and function of adipose tissue.

Browning mechanism and process optimization during MaizeMaize KX7349 Drying
Browning of KX7349 maize during drying occurred mainly in the pericarp layer. Browning was caused by oxidation of water soluble matter in the pericarp layer. Moisture content had no significant influence on browning rate.
