Multipotent stem cells constitute an unlimited source of differentiated cells that could be used in pharmacological studies and in medicine. Recently, several publications have reported that adipose tissue contains a population of cells able to differentiate into different cell types in...
The accumulation of adipose tissue is largely influenced by the genetic background of cattle. Bioinformatics Analyses of Bovine Adipose Tissue Transcriptome from Lilu Beef Cattle at Different Stages of Growth Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), avisceral adipose tissue surrounding the heart and the coronary...
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a distinct type of adipose tissue that is specialized to utilize energy from lipids and dissipate it in the form of heat through the actions of uncoupled protein 1 (UCP-1) in mitochondria. From: The Molecular Nutrition of Fats, 2019 ...
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a type of fat specialized in non-shivering thermogenesis. While non-shivering thermogenesis is mediated primarily by uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), the development of the UCP1 knockout mouse has enabled the study of possible UCP1-independent non-shivering thermogenic ...
Adipose Tissue Abstract Adipose tissue is a specialized connective tissue type. It can be divided into white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. The composition, location, and function of both types of adipose tissue are described in this chapter....
Adipose tissueis a type of loose connective tissue where excess energy is stored in the form oftriglycerides. Besides its role in energyhomeostasis, adipose tissue has a variety of functions such asheat production, insulation, mechanical protection of the organs. The structure of adipose tissue cons...

Here we discover a fat-derived “adipokine” neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) and its receptor Tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TRKC) as key regulators of SNS growth and innervation in adipose tissue. NT-3 is highly expressed in brown/beige adipocytes, and potently stimulates sympathetic ...
White adipose tissue (WAT) is one of the most abundant tissues in mammals, exhibiting numerous complex functions. The primary purpose of WAT is to store excess energy in the form of fat for future use by other cells of the organism during periods of ener
