MFSD7C switches mitochondrial ATP synthesis to thermogenesis in response to heme
Mitochondria maintain a balance between thermogenesis and ATP synthesis, but how this is coordinated is largely unknown. Here, the authors show that MFSD7C coordinates ATP synthesis and thermogenesis in response to heme by directly binding to electron ...

Gluttony and thermogenesis revisited [PDF]
The evolutionary and biological significance of adaptive, homeostatic forms of heat production (thermogenesis) is reviewed. After summarizing the role and selective value of thermogenesis in body temperature regulation (shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis) and the febrile response to infection (fever), the review concentrates on diet-induced ...

Central control of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis
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

Adipose tissue-resident T cells are known to regulate thermogenesis and energy expenditure. Here the authors report that deletion of mitochondria-localized protein DsbA-L in T cells promotes diet-induced thermogenesis via suppressing IFN-γ production.

Is thermogenesis really needed for brown adipose tissue–mediated metabolic benefit?
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy in the form of heat and functions as a metabolic sink for lipids, glucose, and branched-chain amino acids. Enhanced BAT thermogenesis is thought to tightly couple with beneficial energy metabolism. However, in

Sirtuins have been reported to positively regulate brown adipose tissue thermogenesis. Here the authors report that brown adipocytic SIRT7 suppresses whole-body energy expenditure and thermogenesis in mice, potentially by attenuating batokine gene ...

3,5-Diiodo-L-thyronine activates brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in hypothyroid rats. [PDF]
3,5-Diiodo-l-thyronine (T2), a thyroid hormone derivative, is capable of increasing energy expenditure, as well as preventing high fat diet-induced overweight and related metabolic dysfunction.

Adaptive thermogenesis in humans [PDF]
The increasing prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities reflects the interaction of genes that favor the storage of excess energy as fat with an environment that provides ad libitum availability of energy-dense foods and encourages an increasingly sedentary lifestyle.

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 ...

At thermoneutrality, acute thyroxine-induced thermogenesis and pyrexia are independent of UCP1
Objective: Hyperthyroidism is associated with increased metabolism (“thyroid thermogenesis”) and elevated body temperature, often referred to as hyperthermia.
