The white adipose organ is composed of both subcutaneous and several intra-abdominal depots. Excess abdominal adiposity a major risk factor for metabolic disease in rodents humans, while expansion fat does not carry the same risks. Brown produces heat as defense against hypothermia obesity, appearance brown-like adipocytes within tissue depots associated with improved phenotypes. Thus, understanding differences cell biology function these different types may be critical to development new...
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates chemical energy and generates heat to protect animals from cold obesity. Rodents possess two types of UCP-1 positive brown adipocytes arising distinct developmental lineages: "classical" develop during the prenatal stage whereas "beige" or "brite" cells that reside in white (WAT) postnatal response chronic PPARγ agonists. Beige cells' inducible characteristics make them a promising therapeutic target for obesity treatment, however, relevance this cell...
Brown fat is a specialized tissue that can dissipate energy and counteract obesity through pattern of gene expression greatly increases mitochondrial content uncoupled respiration. PRDM16 zinc-finger protein controls brown determination by stimulating fat-selective expression, while suppressing the genes selective for white cells. To determine mechanisms regulating this switching programs, we purified native complexes from We show here transcriptional holocompex contains C-terminal-binding...
