Regulatory microRNAs in Brown, Brite and White Adipose Tissue
Cells, 2020 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a class of short noncoding RNAs which regulate gene expression by targeting messenger RNA, inducing translational repression and messenger RNA degradation.

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

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 ...

White Adipose Tissue Heterogeneity in the Single-Cell Era: From Mice and Humans to Cattle [PDF]
, 2023 Adipose tissue is a major modulator of metabolic function by regulating energy storage and by acting as an endocrine organ through the secretion of adipokines.

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.

Differential Tissue Response to Growth Hormone in Mice [PDF]
, 2018 Growth hormone (GH) has been shown to act directly on multiple tissues throughout the body. Historically, it was believed that GH acted directly in the liver and only indirectly in other tissues via insulin‐like growth hormone 1 (IGF‐1).

Effect of Acute Sleep Fragmentation Upon Inflammatory Response of Brown and White Adipose Tissue in Male Mice [PDF]
, 2021 Sleep is an important process required for vertebrates, including humans, to function. When sleep is disrupted, it leads to deleterious effects such as inflammatory responses throughout the body.
