Cold acclimation recruits human brown fat and increases nonshivering thermogenesis
... There has been revitalized interest in BAT after the discovery of functional BAT in human adults in 2009 (1, 2, 13), not in the least because BAT activation may be able to counteract obesity and type 2 diabetes (27, 29). ...

SIRT3 controls brown fat thermogenesis by deacetylation regulation of pathways upstream of UCP1.
... the brown adipocyte cell line, HIB1B, resulted in increased expression of UCP1 mRNAs and that overexpression of dominant negative forms of SIRT3 leads to down-regulated expression of UCP1 ...

Autophagy in Myf5+ progenitors regulates energy and glucose homeostasis through control of brown fat and skeletal muscle development
... ‘Beige’ cells/BAT increase energy expenditure in KO mice To identify the tissues that oxidized WAT-derived FFA in KO mice, we asked whether defective MA in BAT triggered ‘Beige’ cell [9] development in WAT. Acute ...

Vascular rarefaction mediates whitening of brown fat in obesity
... Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a highly vascularized organ with abundant mitochondria that produce heat through uncoupled respiration. Obesity is associated with a reduction of BAT function; however, it is unknown ...

NPs — heart hormones that regulate brown fat?
... Thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is well characterized as being under the control of the sympathetic nervous system. The energy-burning capacity of BAT makes it an attractive target for anti-obesity ...

Controlling Thermogenesis: Understanding the Role of PRDM16 in the Development and Function of Brown Fat
... knockdown of PRDM16 in differentiated brown adipocytes has a very subtle effect on the expression of BAT-selective genes. Together this implies that PRDM16 is required for chromatin hub formation, but not ...
