Mfn2 is critical for brown adipose tissue thermogenic function
Mitochondrial fusion and fission events, collectively known as mitochondrial dynamics, act as quality control mechanisms to ensure mitochondrial function and fine-tune cellular bioenergetics. Defective mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) expression and enhanced mitochondrial fission in skeletal muscle are hallmarks of insulin-resistant states. Interestingly, Mfn2 is highly expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT...
متن کاملBrown Adipose Tissue Thermogenic Capacity Is Regulated by Elovl6.
Although many transcriptional pathways regulating BAT have been identified, the role of lipid biosynthetic enzymes in thermogenesis has been less investigated. Whereas cold exposure causes changes in the fatty acid composition of BAT, the functional consequences of this remains relatively unexplored. In this study, we demonstrate that the enzyme Elongation of Very Long Chain fatty acids 6 (Elov...
متن کاملGADD45γ regulates the thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue.
The coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 α (PGC-1α) is widely considered a central transcriptional regulator of adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT). However, mice lacking PGC-1α specifically in adipose tissue have only mild thermogenic defects, suggesting the presence of additional regulators. Using the activity of estrogen-related receptor...
متن کاملFatty acid oxidation is required for active and quiescent brown adipose tissue maintenance and thermogenic programing
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of fatty acid oxidation on the cellular, molecular, and physiologic response of brown adipose tissue to disparate paradigms of chronic thermogenic stimulation. METHODS Mice with an adipose-specific loss of Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 2 (Cpt2A-/-), that lack mitochondrial long chain fatty acid β-oxidation, were subjected to environmental and pharmacologic int...
متن کاملMaternal high-fat diet during lactation impairs thermogenic function of brown adipose tissue in offspring mice
Maternal obesity and high-fat diet (HFD) predisposes offspring to obesity and metabolic diseases. Due to uncoupling, brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy via heat generation, mitigating obesity and diabetes. The lactation stage is a manageable period for improving the health of offspring of obese mothers, but the impact of maternal HFD during lactation on offspring BAT function is unkno...
