Brown Adipose Tissue: Function and Physiological Significance

TL;DR: The development of brown adipose tissue with its characteristic protein, uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1), was probably determinative for the evolutionary success of mammals, as its thermogenesis enhances neonatal survival and allows for active life even in cold surroundings.

Mechanisms Controlling Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Respiration through the Thermogenic Coactivator PGC-1

TL;DR: PGC-1, a cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration in muscle cells through an induction of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) and through regulation of the nuclear respiratory factors (NRFs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Resveratrol improves mitochondrial function and protects against metabolic disease by activating SIRT1 and PGC-1alpha.

TL;DR: RSV's effects were associated with an induction of genes for oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial biogenesis and were largely explained by an RSV-mediated decrease in P GC-1alpha acetylation and an increase in PGC-1 alpha activity.

Stimulation of adipogenesis in fibroblasts by PPAR gamma 2, a lipid-activated transcription factor.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the physiologic role of PPAR gamma 2 is to regulate development of the adipose lineage in response to endogenous lipid activators and that this factor may serve to link the process of adipocyte differentiation to systemic lipid metabolism.

Production of high titer helper-free retroviruses by transient transfection

TL;DR: In this article, a method for producing high-titer, helper-free infectious retroviruses is disclosed which employs a novel strategy that uses transient transfection of new retroviral producer cell lines, ecotropic line BOSC 23 and amphotropic line CAK 8.

Sequence and Characterization of a Coactivator for the Steroid Hormone Receptor Superfamily

TL;DR: Results indicate that SRC-1 encodes a coactivator that is required for full transcriptional activity of the steroid receptor superfamily.

mPPAR gamma 2: tissue-specific regulator of an adipocyte enhancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, an enhancer from the 5'-flanking region of the adipocyte P2 (aP2) gene that directs high-level adipocyte-specific gene expression in both cultured cells and transgenic mice was identified.

A CBP Integrator Complex Mediates Transcriptional Activation and AP-1 Inhibition by Nuclear Receptors

TL;DR: It is suggested that CBP/p300 serves as an integrator of multiple signal transduction pathways within the nucleus, in addition to distinct coactivators for function of nuclear receptors, CREB, and AP-1.
