Differentiation of Brown Adipose Tissue using Manganese Enhanced MRI
Introduction: The brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a type of fat that modulates both basal and inducible energy expenditure in mammals. Its presence in adult human has recently gained much interest due to its implication in the development of obesity [1,2,3] and made it a new target for treatments [2]. Compared to white adipose tissue (WAT), BAT has multilocular lipid droplets, increased number of...
متن کاملBrown adipose tissue
Obesity is currently a global pandemic, and is associated with increased mortality and co-morbidities including many metabolic diseases. Obesity is characterized by an increase in adipose mass due to increased energy intake, decreased energy expenditure, or both. While white adipose tissue is specialized for energy storage, brown adipose tissue has a high concentration of mitochondria and uniqu...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Insulin Producing Cells Using Minimal Differentiation Factors
Background & Aims: Type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes, is an autoimmune disease in which pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by the immune system. Hitherto, no definite treatment has been found for this condition. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent, self-renewing cells that have the ability to differentiate into mesodermal tissues. This ability has attracted the attention...
