resulting in excess energy storage in the white adipose tissue (WAT) depots. In contrast to WAT, brown adipose tissue (BAT) converts excess energy into heat via uncoupled respiration, which is ...

Adipose tissue comes in three colors: white, brown and beige. While white fat specializes in storing lipid and expands during obesity, brown fat is thermogenic, turning energy into heat. Beige fat is ...

BAT is a thermogenic organ. In contrast to white adipose tissue (WAT), the primary function of BAT is to produce heat by the process of nonshivering thermogenesis (NST). This process is enabled by ...

A new study uncovers a novel mechanism through which brown fat is transformed into heat, offering protection against ...

There are two types of fatty or adipose tissue: white and brown. White adipose tissue mostly stores energy, while brown fat (its cells have more mitochondria and that gives them a brown hue ...

evaluated the role of brown adipose tissue (BAT), a special type of fat that burns calories to generate heat, in improving exercise endurance and supporting healthy aging. Unlike regular white fat ...

Recently, another type of cells called brown-in-white (BRITE) or beige cells, in white adipose tissue (WAT) have been found.3 BRITE cells possess a multilocular morphology, enriched mitochondria and ...

As many as 40% of Americans are obese, putting them at an increased risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease and certain cancers, according to the CDC. New research from the ...

In obesity, B cells accumulate in white adipose tissue (WAT) and produce IgG, which may contribute to the development of glucose intolerance. IgG signals by binding to Fcγ receptors (FcγR ...
