Assessment of brown adipose tissue function
In this review we discuss practical considerations for the assessment of brown adipose tissue in rodent models, focusing on mice. The central aim of the review is to provide a critical appraisal of the utility of specialized techniques for assessing brown adipose tissue function in vivo. We cover several of the most common specialized methods for analysing brown adipose tissue function in vivo,...
متن کاملBrown adipose tissue: structure and function.
Within the context of the biology of brown adipose tissue (BAT), a clear understanding of physiological and biochemical mechanisms requires a sound knowledge of the histology and ultrastructure of this fascinating tissue. Recent research interest in BAT has been concentrated on two aspects of its function in the body, namely non-shivering thermogenesis and diet-induced thermogenesis. Both these...
متن کاملBrown adipose tissue: function and physiological significance.
The function of brown adipose tissue is to transfer energy from food into heat; physiologically, both the heat produced and the resulting decrease in metabolic efficiency can be of significance. Both the acute activity of the tissue, i.e., the heat production, and the recruitment process in the tissue (that results in a higher thermogenic capacity) are under the control of norepinephrine releas...
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...
