Adaptive thermogenesis: Orchestrating mitochondrial biogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The biogenesis of mitochondria requires products of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Recent studies of adaptive thermogenesis have shown how mitochondrial proliferation and respiratory activity in brown fat and skeletal muscle are directed by the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1.

Responses to temperature variation: integration of thermoregulation and metabolism in vertebrates.
Many vertebrates regulate their body temperature in response to thermal variability of the environment. Endotherms maintain relatively stable body temperatures by adjusting metabolic heat production in response to varying environmental heat loads. Although most ectotherms do not display adaptive thermogenesis, they do acclimate cellular metabolism to compensate for environmental temperature var...
متن کاملEffects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate on thermogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in brown adipose tissues of diet-induced obese mice
Background: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the major polyphenol in green tea and has been considered a natural agent that can help to reduce the risk of obesity. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EGCG on thermogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) of diet-induced obese mice. Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were provided a high-fat ...
متن کاملFunctional Evolution of Leptin of Ochotona curzoniae in Adaptive Thermogenesis Driven by Cold Environmental Stress
BACKGROUND Environmental stress can accelerate the directional selection and evolutionary rate of specific stress-response proteins to bring about new or altered functions, enhancing an organism's fitness to challenging environments. Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), an endemic and keystone species on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, is a high hypoxia and low temperature tolerant mammal with high rest...

Adv Physiol Educ 30: 145–151, 2006; doi: 10.1152/advan.00052.2006.—Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorcoactivator (PGC)-1 is a member of a family of transcription coactivators that plays a central role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. It is strongly induced by cold exposure, linking this envi...
متن کاملDynamic Regulation of Genes Involved in Mitochondrial DNA Replication and Transcription during Mouse Brown Fat Cell Differentiation and Recruitment
BACKGROUND Brown adipocytes are specialised in dissipating energy through adaptive thermogenesis, whereas white adipocytes are specialised in energy storage. These essentially opposite functions are possible for two reasons relating to mitochondria, namely expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and a remarkably higher mitochondrial abundance in brown adipocytes. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDI...
