Adrenoceptors in white, brown, and brite adipocytes [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2019 Adrenoceptors play an important role in adipose tissue biology and physiology that includes regulating the synthesis and storage of triglycerides (lipogenesis), the breakdown of stored triglycerides (lipolysis), thermogenesis (heat production), glucose metabolism, and the secretion of adipocyte‐derived hormones that can control whole‐body energy ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specialized tissue that regulates non-shivering thermogenesis. In Syrian hamsters, interscapular adipose tissue is composed primarily of white adipocytes at birth, which is converted to BAT through the proliferation and ...

Artepillin C, a Typical Brazilian Propolis-Derived Component, Induces Brown-Like Adipocyte Formation in C3H10T1/2 Cells, Primary Inguinal White Adipose Tissue-Derived Adipocytes, and Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Induction of brown-like adipocytes (beige/brite cells) in white adipose tissue (WAT) suggests a new approach for preventing and treating obesity via induction of thermogenesis associated with uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1).

Regulatory mechanism of white adipocyte browning and research advances [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesAdipose tissue has energy storage and metabolic functions, and its content is highly correlated with an individual’s obesity status. The relative proportions of white adipocytes, brown adipocytes, and beige adipocytes are also important in regulating ...

Biomedicines, 2022 White adipose tissues are major endocrine organs that release factors, termed adipokines, which affect other major organ systems. The development and functions of adipose tissues depend largely upon the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) surround both adipocytes and vascular structures and facilitate the ...

Heritability of fat accumulation in white adipocytes
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2014 Since individual cells from freshly isolated white adipose tissue (WAT) exhibit variable levels of fat accumulation, we attempted to determine which factor(s) cause this variation. We used primary WAT cells from adult mice and the mouse 3T3-L1 cell-line of preadipocytes for these studies.

A Method to Induce Brown/Beige Adipocyte Differentiation from Murine Preadipocytes
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Adipocytes exhibit different morphological and functional characteristics, depending on their anatomical location, developmental origin, and stimulus. While white adipocytes tend to accumulate energy as triglycerides, brown and beige adipocytes tend to ...

Mediators of Inflammation, 2017 Obesity is marked by chronic, low-grade inflammation. Here, we examined whether intrinsic differences between white and brown adipocytes influence the inflammatory status of macrophages.
