New targets for pharmacological interventions are of great importance to combat the epidemic of obesity. Brown adipose tissue could potentially represent one such target. Unlike white adipose tissue, ...
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 ...
Rutgers Health researchers have made discoveries about brown fat that may open a new path to helping people stay physically fit as they age. A team from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School found that ...

From left to right, Tania Quesada-López, Francesc Villarroya, Albert Blasco-Roset, Marta Giralt, Alberto Mestres-Arenas, Joan Villarroya, Aleix Gavaldà-Navarro and Rubén Cereijo. As the body ages, ...
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 ...
A study conducted by researchers at the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) has shown that ATP-sensitive mitochondrial potassium channels (MitoK ATP) are involved in both the ...
In contrast to most other tissues in the body, adipose tissue constantly experiences expansion and shrinkage throughout adulthood because of changes in metabolic demand. The plasticity of WAT and BAT ...
The new paper describes for the first time the relation of the kallikrein-kikin System with metabolic regulation systems in the brown adipose tissue. This tissue is activated as a reaction to ...
