You turn me cold: evidence for temperature contagion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Introduction During social interactions, our own physiological responses influence those of others. Synchronization of physiological (and behavioural) responses can facilitate emotional understanding and group coherence through inter-subjectivity.

Formal Systems Architectures for Biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
When the word "systems" is used in systems biology, it invokes a variety of assumptions about what defines the subject under investigation, which in turn can lead to divergent research outcomes.

Central control of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Isometric thermogenesis at rest and during movement: a neglected variable in energy expenditure and obesity predisposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Isometric thermogenesis as applied to human energy expenditure refers to heat production resulting from increased muscle tension. While most physical activities consist of both dynamic and static (isometric) muscle actions, the isometric component is ...

The Liver as a Hub in Thermogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesCell Metabolism, 2017
Manipulating thermogenesis could increase energy expenditure and improve metabolism. Brown fat is a major site of nonshivering thermogenesis, but other tissues, notably muscle and liver, can contribute to cold adaptation. In this issue, Simcox et al.

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

open access: yesBMC 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

The Effects of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) on Brown Adipogenesis in Stem Cell Culture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are major maternal dietary supplements due to their positive benefits on neurological tissue growth during the first 12 weeks of gestation ...

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

open access: yesBiomolecules
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 ...

Search for plant biomagnetism with a sensitive atomic magnetometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We report what we believe is the first experimental limit placed on plant biomagnetism. Measurements with a sensitive atomic magnetometer were performed on the Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) inflorescence, known for its fast bio-chemical processes ...

A Third Variable in Obesity: The Effects of Brown Adipose Tissue on Thermogenesis

open access: yes, 1981
Approaches to weight management which consider only energy intake and/or expenditure do not consistently lead to favorable outcomes. A third variable, thermogenesis, must also be considered in a comprehensive understanding of obesity· Three types of ...
