The sympathetic nervous system in white adipose tissue regulation.
Sympathetic stimulation has long been recognized to mobilise fatty acids from white adipose tissue. However, it is now apparent that adipose tissue is not only concerned with energy storage as fat, but is a major endocrine and secretory organ. This change has resulted from the identification of leptin as a hormone of energy balance secreted by white adipose tissue. The sympathetic system is a k...
متن کاملRearing temperature and the sympathetic nervous system regulation of white and brown adipose tissue.
THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES that result in response to cold exposure clearly demonstrate the close interrelationship between thermal and caloric homeostasis. This point is exemplified by the adjustments made in the two major types of fat tissue, the heat-generating brown adipose tissue (BAT) that provides warmth and the energy-storing white adipose tissue (WAT) that provides metabolic substrate. ...
متن کاملCentral nervous system origins of the sympathetic nervous system outflow to white adipose tissue.
White adipose tissue (WAT) is innervated by postganglionic sympathetic nervous system (SNS) neurons, suggesting that lipid mobilization could be regulated by the SNS [T. G. Youngstrom and T. J. Bartness. Am. J. Physiol. 268 ( Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 37): R744-R751, 1995]. A viral transsynaptic retrograde tract tracer, the pseudorabies virus (PRV), was used to identify the origins ...
متن کاملMelanocortin-4 receptor mRNA is expressed in sympathetic nervous system outflow neurons to white adipose tissue.
Energy balance results from the coordination of multiple pathways affecting energy expenditure and food intake. Candidate neuropeptides involved in energy balance are the melanocortins. Several species, including Siberian hamsters studied here, decrease and increase food intake in response to stimulation and blockade of the melanocortin 4-receptor (MC4-R). In addition, central application of th...
متن کاملWhite adipose tissue sympathetic nervous system denervation increases fat pad mass and fat cell number.
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) drive on white adipose tissue (WAT) was varied to test its effects on fat cell number (FCN) under conditions in which lipolysis would be minimized and therefore partially separable from SNS trophic effects. The inguinal subcutaneous WAT (IWAT) pad of Siberian hamsters was chosen because 1) it is innervated by the SNS, 2) short day (SD) exposure increases its...
