Adipose tissue in control of metabolism

TL;DR: This review will summarize the recent findings of adipose tissue in the control of metabolism, focusing on its endocrine and thermogenic function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brown adipose tissue is associated with cardiometabolic health

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that individuals with BAT had lower prevalences of cardiometabolic diseases, and the presence of BAT was independently correlated with lower odds of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, congestive heart failure and hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brown adipose tissue energy metabolism in humans

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) in humans primarily using positron emission tomography coupled to computed tomography (PET/CT) with the glucose tracer 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) is offered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic adaptation and maladaptation in adipose tissue

TL;DR: The current understanding of adipocyte metabolism in physiology and metabolic disease is reviewed, and strategies to reprogram adipocyte fate and metabolism are discussed, including possible strategies to alter fuel utilization in fat cells to improve metabolic health.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and Importance of Brown Adipose Tissue in Adult Humans

TL;DR: Defined regions of functionally active brown adipose tissue are present in adult humans, are more frequent in women than in men, and may be quantified noninvasively with the use of (18)F-FDG PET-CT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cold-activated brown adipose tissue in healthy men.

TL;DR: Brown adipose tissue may be metabolically important in men, and the fact that it is reduced yet present in most overweight or obese subjects may make it a target for the treatment of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional brown adipose tissue in healthy adults.

TL;DR: These findings document the presence of substantial amounts of metabolically active brown adipose tissue in healthy adult humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular energy utilization and molecular origin of standard metabolic rate in mammals

TL;DR: The differences in standard metabolic rate between animals of different body mass and phylogeny appear to be due to proportionate changes in the whole of energy metabolism.
