Acyl CoA-binding protein in brown adipose tissue acts as a negative regulator of adaptive thermogenesis

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: Defective activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is linked to obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. While much is known regarding the biological signals that trigger BAT thermogenesis, relatively little is known about the repressors that may ...

Orexin modulates brown adipose tissue thermogenesis

Biomolecular Concepts, 2012
Non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an important role in thermoregulation. In addition, activations of BAT have important implications for energy homeostasis due to the metabolic consumption of energy reserves entailed in the ...

Influence of exercise-induced energy deficit on non-exercise activity thermogenesis in overweight and obese adults [PDF]

, 2019
Energy balance is a dynamically regulated system and perturbing one of its components (reduction in energy intake (EI) or increase in energy expenditure (EE)) can result in biological and behavioural compensatory responses of unpredictable magnitude ...

Inhibition of peripheral CB1 receptors modulates food intake and metabolic efficiency in obesity independently of the gut–brain vagal axis

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Obesity involves profound disruptions in neuronal circuits, neuroendocrine communication and the endocannabinoid system. While global blockade of cannabinoid CB1 receptors improves metabolism, its clinical use is limited by neuropsychiatric side effects.

Absence of MCJ/DnaJC15 promotes brown adipose tissue thermogenesis

Nature Communications
Obesity poses a global health challenge, demanding a deeper understanding of adipose tissue (AT) and its mitochondria. This study describes the role of the mitochondrial protein Methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ/DnaJC15) in orchestrating brown ...

Noggin depletion in adipocytes promotes obesity in mice. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectiveObesity has increased to pandemic levels and enhanced understanding of adipose regulation is required for new treatment strategies. Although bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) influence adipogenesis, the effect of BMP antagonists such as Noggin ...

Cold‐Induced Lipidomic Remodelling Is Associated With Brown Adipose Tissue Mean Radiodensity in Humans

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Cold exposure activates brown adipose tissue (BAT) and promotes thermogenic and metabolic adaptations. While BAT activation has been linked to improved cardiometabolic health, how acute cold exposure reshapes the circulating lipidome in humans remains incompletely understood.

Brain Serotonin Transporter Is Elevated in Obesity: Bayesian and Frequentist Meta‐Analyses

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims The brain plays a critical role in controlling energy balance. Previous studies have mainly focused on dopaminergic mechanisms, whereas much less attention has been paid to serotonin during the emergence of overweight and obesity. Therefore, this study investigated the association between serotonin transporter (SERT) availability and ...

Effect of altered gravity on temperature regulation in mammals: Investigation of gravity effect on temperature regulation in mammals [PDF]

Male, Long-Evans hooded rats were instrumented for monitoring core and hypothalamic temperatures as well as shivering and nonshivering thermogenesis in response to decreased ambient temperature in order to characterize the nature of the neural controller

Photoperiod‐Regulated Thermal Tolerance of the Non‐Diapausing Insect Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Developmental photoperiodic exposure (photoacclimation) from egg to adult emergence alters thermal tolerance in Ceratitis capitata. Flies reared under contrasting photoperiods (0:24, 8:16, 14:10, and 24:0 L:D) showed significant shifts in both CTmin and CTmax, whereas adult‐only photoacclimation affected CTmax but not CTmin.
