Deciphering White Adipose Tissue Heterogeneity [PDF]

Biology, 2019
Adipose tissue not only stores energy, but also controls metabolism through secretion of hormones, cytokines, proteins, and microRNAs that affect the function of cells and tissues throughout the body.

Neuroimmune regulation of white adipose tissues [PDF]

The FEBS Journal, 2021
The white adipose tissues (WAT) are located in distinct depots throughout the body. They serve as an energy reserve, providing fatty acids for other tissues via lipolysis when needed, and function as an endocrine organ to regulate systemic metabolism. Their activities are coordinated through intercellular communications among adipocytes and other cell ...

Studies of adipose tissue in humans with special reference to innervation by the sympathetic nervous system [PDF]

, 2009
PhDThis thesis reports the effects in vivo of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in human subcutaneous abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT) and other tissues involved in energy storage and utilisation. Cannulation of superficial veins draining skin,

Mitochondrial dysfunction in white adipose tissue [PDF]

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012
Although mitochondria in brown adipose tissue and their role in non-shivering thermogenesis have been widely studied, we have only a limited understanding of the relevance of mitochondria in white adipose tissue (WAT) for cellular homeostasis of the adipocyte and their impact upon systemic energy homeostasis.

Sexual Dimorphism in Brown Adipose Tissue Activation and White Adipose Tissue Browning

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
The present narrative review gathers the studies reported so far, addressing sex differences in the effects of cold exposure, feeding pattern and age on brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and white adipose tissue (WAT) browning. In rodents, when exposed to decreasing temperatures, females activate thermogenesis earlier. Results obtained in humans

Lytic cocktail: An effective method to alleviate severe burn induced hyper-metabolism through regulating white adipose tissue browning

Heliyon, 2022
Background: Browning of white adipose tissue is associated with elevated resting metabolic rates and is considered to be one of the indispensable causes of hypermetabolism in burn patients.

Transcriptional fingerprinting of "browning" white fat identifies NRG4 as a novel adipokine [PDF]

, 2014
Brown adipocytes help to maintain body temperature by the expression of a unique set of genes that facilitate cellular metabolic events including uncoupling protein 1-dependent thermogenesis.

Calcium sensing receptor as a novel mediator of adipose tissue dysfunction: mechanisms and potential clinical implications

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Obesity is currently a serious worldwide public health problem, reaching pandemic levels. For decades, dietary and behavioral approaches have failed to prevent this disease from expanding, and health authorities are challenged by the elevated prevalence ...

Beige Adipose Tissue Identification and Marker Specificity—Overview

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Adipose tissue (AT) is classified based on its location, physiological and functional characteristics. Although there is a clear demarcation of anatomical and molecular features specific to white (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), the factors that ...
