The identification of brown/beige adipose tissue in adult humans has motivated the search for methods aimed at increasing its thermogenic activity as an approach to treat obesity. In rodents, the ...
Measures of metabolism and energy expenditure did not appear to be associated with brown adipose tissue activation in patients with emphysematous chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Using positron-emission tomography (PET), we found that cold-induced glucose uptake was increased by a factor of 15 in paracervical and supraclavicular adipose tissue in five healthy subjects. We ...
Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are increasingly present in the population. Brown adipose tissue has a protective function against these prevalent diseases, as it burns calories and can ...
Researchers decipher mechanism that prevents the loss of brown adipose tissue activity during ageing

Researchers from University of Tsukuba have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which macrophages, a type of immune cell, control heat production in brown adipose tissue to increase the body ...
Obesity results from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. In rodents and newborn humans, brown adipose tissue helps regulate energy expenditure by thermogenesis mediated by the ...
However, an excessive and uncontrolled activity of the tissue could cause damaging effects such as cachexia -excessive loss of body weight- present in some types of cancer. The new paper describes for ...
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — The next breakthrough in anti-aging medicine might come from a surprising source: fat. But not just any fat—brown fat, a special type that burns energy rather than storing it.
