Whither brown fat?
In 1551 Gessner described a lobular fatty tissue which we now know as brown adipose tissue (BAT). Apart from a few descriptions of the tissue in hibernators, it was then virtually ignored by scientists for the next four hundred years until its involvement in the thermoregulation of non-hibernating mammals was suggested (Smith, 1961). However, even after this work in the early 1960s, doubts over...

متن کاملDietary fat overload reprograms brown fat mitochondria
Chronic nutrient overload accelerates the onset of several aging-related diseases reducing life expectancy. Although the mechanisms by which overnutrition affects metabolic processes in many tissues are known, its role on BAT physiology is still unclear. Herein, we investigated the mitochondrial responses in BAT of female mice exposed to high fat diet (HFD) at different steps of life. Although ...
متن کاملBrown fat - hotting up again.
For a decade or so from the late 1970s brown adipose tissue was a key focus of obesity research. The concept that adaptive changes in energy expenditure are important in the regulation of energy balance, with reductions in thermogenesis as a major factor in the development of obesity, had taken centre stage. This was based on some pivotal observations from studies on experimental animals. Brown...
متن کاملThe brain and brown fat
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specialized organ responsible for thermogenesis, a process required for maintaining body temperature. BAT is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which activates lipolysis and mitochondrial uncoupling in brown adipocytes. For many years, BAT was considered to be important only in small mammals and newborn humans, but recent data have shown that BAT ...
