Brown Fat Expresses Adiponectin in Humans
The presence of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in humans is unclear. Pheochromocytomas (PHEO) are rare tumors of neuroectodermal origin which occur in 0.1-0.2% of patients with hypertension. We sought to evaluate the presence and activity of BAT surrounding adrenal PHEO in a well-studied sample of 11 patients who were diagnosed with PHEO and then underwent adrenalectomy. Areas of white fat (WAT) an...
متن کاملA New Twist on Brown Fat Metabolism
The transcriptional coactivator PGC-1alpha promotes mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenic programs in brown adipose tissue. Pan et al. (2009) identify the transcription factor twist-1 as a negative feedback regulator of PGC-1alpha.
متن کاملBrown Fat in Humans: Turning up the Heat on Obesity
The looming pandemic of obesity and overweight, driven by ready access to high-calorie food and an increasingly sedentary way of life, poses a severe threat to global public health. The pathological accumulation of excess dysfunctional adipose tissue that characterizes obesity is a major risk factor for many other diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke...
متن کاملThe significance of beige and brown fat in humans
Promotion of brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity or browning of white adipose tissue has shown great potential as anti-obesity strategy in numerous preclinical models. The discovery of active BAT in humans and the recent advances in the understanding of human BAT biology and function have significantly propelled this field of research. Pharmacological stimulation of energy expenditure to counte...
متن کاملAssessment of Oxidative Metabolism in Brown Fat Using PET Imaging
OBJECTIVE Although it has been believed that brown adipose tissue (BAT) depots disappear shortly after the perinatal period in humans, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using the glucose analog ¹⁸F-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) has shown unequivocally the existence of functional BAT in humans, suggesting that most humans have some functional BAT. The objective of this study was to determine, u...
