Cerebral Thermoregulatory Control of Brown Adipose Tissue: a PET/fMRI Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Introduction: For the defense of body temperature, efferent signals from central thermoregulatory networks regulate metabolism in specific thermogenic tissues. Among them, nonshivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been implicated as a heat source for the defense of body temperature in cold environments. The presence of coldactivated BAT depots is highly variable in humans for unknown reasons and this variability might be associated with differences in CNS thermoregulatory control. As a result, central thermoregulatory brain pathways could be responsible for physiological differences observed in peripheral tissues.

متن کاملRegulation of Brown Adipose Tissue Activity by Interoceptive CNS Pathways: The interaction between Brain and Periphery
To maintain thermal homeostasis, specific thermogenic tissues are under the control of central thermoregulatory networks that regulate the body's response to thermal challenges. One of these mechanisms involves non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is activated in cold environments in order to defend the body against physical damage as a result of hypothermia. The obj...
متن کاملA novel thermoregulatory role for PDE10A in mouse and human adipocytes
Phosphodiesterase type 10A (PDE10A) is highly enriched in striatum and is under evaluation as a drug target for several psychiatric/neurodegenerative diseases. Preclinical studies implicate PDE10A in the regulation of energy homeostasis, but the mechanisms remain unclear. By utilizing small-animal PET/MRI and the novel radioligand [(18)F]-AQ28A, we found marked levels of PDE10A in interscapular...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to assess the volume and function of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) in vivo using MR imaging. METHODS BAT volumes under thermoneutral conditions in the cervical areas were assessed via water-fat contrast using the Dixon method and via water-saturation efficiency using fast spin-echo and T2-weighted images. The existence of cervical BAT was also assessed ...
