BMP4-mediated brown fat-like changes in white adipose tissue alter glucose and energy homeostasis.
Expression of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) in adipocytes of white adipose tissue (WAT) produces "white adipocytes" with characteristics of brown fat and leads to a reduction of adiposity and its metabolic complications. Although BMP4 is known to induce commitment of pluripotent stem cells to the adipocyte lineage by producing cells that possess the characteristics of preadipocytes, its e...
متن کاملBrown and beige fat in humans: thermogenic adipocytes that control energy and glucose homeostasis.
Brown adipose tissue (BAT), a specialized fat that dissipates energy to produce heat, plays an important role in the regulation of energy balance. Two types of thermogenic adipocytes with distinct developmental and anatomical features exist in rodents and humans: classical brown adipocytes and beige (also referred to as brite) adipocytes. While classical brown adipocytes are located mainly in d...
متن کاملGlucose uptake in brown fat cells is dependent on mTOR complex 2–promoted GLUT1 translocation
Brown adipose tissue is the primary site for thermogenesis and can consume, in addition to free fatty acids, a very high amount of glucose from the blood, which can both acutely and chronically affect glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 2 has a novel role in β3-adrenoceptor-stimulated glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue. We show that β3-adre...
متن کاملEffects of Vanadyl Sulphate on Glucose Homeostasis in Severe Diabetes Induced by Streptozotocin in Rats
Background: There is not any in vivo studies that shows inducing of euglycemia by vanadyl is independent from plasma insulin. Therefore in the present study we planned to investigate the antidiabetic effects of vanadyl in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Rats became severely diabetic by an IV injection of 50-55mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ), 15 days after the injection, the blood glucose of ...
متن کاملThe role of peptide YY in regulating glucose homeostasis.
The gut-derived hormone peptide YY (PYY) is most commonly known for its effect on satiety, decreasing food intake and body weight in animals and humans. However, PYY is also involved in a wide range of digestive functions including regulating insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. Over the last few years, there have been several interesting clinical and animal studies investigating the role...
