Chewing increases postprandial diet-induced thermogenesis
Scientific Reports, 2021 Slow eating, which involves chewing food slowly and thoroughly, is an effective strategy for controlling appetite in order to avoid being overweight or obese.

QPLOT Neurons—Converging on a Thermoregulatory Preoptic Neuronal Population
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The preoptic area of the hypothalamus is a homeostatic control center. The heterogeneous neurons in this nucleus function to regulate the sleep/wake cycle, reproduction, thirst and hydration, as well as thermogenesis and other metabolic responses ...

Evolutionary history of the UCP gene family: gene duplication and selection [PDF]
BMC Evol. Biol. 8 (2008) 306, 2008 BACKGROUND: The uncoupling protein (UCP) genes belong to the superfamily of electron transport carriers of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Members of the uncoupling protein family are involved in thermogenesis and determining the functional evolution of UCP genes is important to understand the evolution of thermo-regulation in vertebrates.

Glucagon, GLP-1 and Thermogenesis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis is a conserved mechanism to maintain body temperature in mammals. However, since BAT contribution to energy expenditure can represent a relevant modulator of metabolic homeostasis, many studies have focused on the nervous system and endocrine factors that control the activity of this tissue.

Nardilysin in adipocytes regulates UCP1 expression and body temperature homeostasis
Scientific Reports, 2022 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates chemical energy as heat through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). The induction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in BAT was recently identified as a mechanism that supports UCP1-dependent thermogenesis.

Simulation toolkits at the molecular scale for trans-scale thermal signaling [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Thermogenesis is a physiological activity of releasing heat that originates from intracellular biochemical reactions. Recent experimental studies discovered that externally applied heat changes intracellular signaling locally, resulting in global changes in cell morphology and signaling.

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 ...

Diet-induced adaptive thermogenesis requires neuropeptide FF receptor-2 signalling
Nature Communications, 2018 Excess caloric intake leads to increased thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, to limit weight gain. Here, the authors show that neuropeptide FF receptor-2 signalling promotes thermogenesis via control of NPY expression in the arcuate nucleus, and that ...
