Human RSPO1 Mutation Represses Beige Adipocyte Thermogenesis and Contributes to Diet‐Induced Adiposity

Advanced Science, 2023
Recent genetic evidence has linked WNT downstream mutations to fat distribution. However, the roles of WNTs in human obesity remain unclear. Here, the authors screen all Wnt‐related paracrine factors in 1994 obese cases and 2161 controls using whole ...

A brown fat-enriched adipokine Adissp controls adipose thermogenesis and glucose homeostasis

Nature Communications, 2022
The signaling mechanisms regulating adipose thermogenesis have not been fully elucidated. Here, the authors show that a brown fat-enriched adipokine ADISSP promotes adipose thermogenesis and improves metabolic health independently of b-adrenergic ...

Chemogenetic Excitation of Ventromedial Hypothalamic Steroidogenic Factor 1 (SF1) Neurons Increases Muscle Thermogenesis in Mice

Biomolecules
Allostatic adaptations to a perceived threat are crucial for survival and may tap into mechanisms serving the homeostatic control of energy balance. We previously established that exposure to predator odor (PO) in rats significantly increases skeletal ...

Cold exposure induces lipid dynamics and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue of goats

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Adaptive thermogenesis by brown adipose tissue (BAT) is important to the maintenance of temperature in newborn mammals. Cold exposure activates gene expression and lipid metabolism to provide energy for BAT thermogenesis. However, knowledge of

Targeting Dlat-Trpv3 pathway by hyperforin elicits non-canonical promotion of adipose thermogenesis as an effective anti-obesity strategy

Journal of Advanced Research
Introduction: Promoting adipose thermogenesis is considered as a promising therapeutic intervention in obesity. However, endeavors to develop anti-obesity medications by targeting the canonical thermogenesis regulatory pathway, particularly β3-adrenergic

Central control of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Thermogenesis, the production of heat energy, is an essential component of the homeostatic repertoire to maintain body temperature during the challenge of low environmental temperature and plays a key role in elevating body temperature during the febrile

Loss of histone methyltransferase Smyd3 triggers WAT browning and adaptive thermogenesis via enhancing PPARγ expression in a H4K20me3-dependent manner

Journal of Translational Medicine
Adaptive thermogenesis driven by brown/beige adipose tissue has gained attention as a promising strategy for combating obesity. Histone methyltransferase SET and MYND Domain Containing 3 (Smyd3) is strongly associated with metabolic and cardiovascular ...

Sympathetic nerve innervation is required for beigeing in white fat

Physiological Reports, 2019
It is increasingly recognized that activation of beige adipocyte thermogenesis by pharmacological or genetic approaches increases energy expenditure and alleviates obesity.

Adipsin and adipocyte-derived C3aR1 regulate thermogenic fat in a sex-dependent fashion

JCI Insight
Thermogenesis in beige/brown adipose tissues can be leveraged to combat metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. The complement system plays pleiotropic roles in metabolic homeostasis and organismal energy balance with canonical effects ...

ELOVL3 regulates phospholipid homeostasis and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue

Journal of Lipid Research
Nonshivering thermogenesis plays an important role in maintaining body temperature and energy homeostasis. Elongation of very long-chain fatty acid protein 3 (ELOVL3), which catalyzes the synthesis of C20-C24 fatty acids, is induced in brown adipose ...
