Recent research has focused on the role of specific neurons and pathways in the brain that regulate thermogenesis, particularly through the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is ...

in white adipose tissue (WAT) have been found.3 BRITE cells possess a multilocular morphology, enriched mitochondria and express the brown adipocyte-specific UCP-1. A potential clinical implication of ...

[12] Findings presented at the meeting demonstrate the presence of BAT in vital locations such as the epicardial adipose tissue in humans where brown adipocytes may act as lipid clearing ...

Diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) is the metabolic cost of processing food. Its obligatory component is the energy spent in digestion and assimilation of food. In addition, there may be a ...

Reporting on their results in Nature Communications (“Absence of MCJ/DnaJC15 promotes brown adipose tissue thermogenesis”) the team stated, “These findings uncover the importance of MCJ as a ...

From that, the authors concluded that local hyperthermia could induce thermogenesis in humans by activating beige adipocytes. Roland Stimson, an endocrinologist at the University of Edinburgh in the ...

"Our results in humans and mice suggest that the reduction of MCJ observed in patients with obesity appears to act as a compensatory mechanism to enhance brown adipose tissue thermogenesis," write the ...

White adipose tissue mostly stores energy, while brown fat (its cells have more mitochondria and that gives them a brown hue) is responsible for heat generation or thermogenesis, the process that ...
