and Seale et al.3, writing in this issue, provide compelling evidence that brown and white fat cells are indeed distinct and that, after all, Gessner had correctly guessed the origin of brown fat cells - they are not flesh (muscle), but they are much more flesh-like than previously suspected.Barbara CannonJan NedergaardNature
Brown fat contains more mitochondria, generates heat through thermogenesis, and is involved in burning calories; white fat stores energy and insulates the body. 1. **功能区别**:棕色脂肪(Brown Fat)主要通过产热(thermogenesis)消耗能量,特别是通过线粒体内膜上的UCP1蛋白解偶联氧化磷酸化,产生热量而非ATP...

“It is now clear,” Phillips said, “that human adults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.” White adipose tissue, or fat, becomes a “metabolic villain,” as Phillips called it, when the body has too much of it. Some published research shows...
The studies were designed to evaluate the impact of Adipo’s active ingredient ADPO-002 on key browning markers for mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial activation, and adipocyte browning in human fat cells and fat tissues. The increases in PGC1⍺, PRDM16 and Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) in...
Whitefat:These are the body’s main type of fat cells. They store energy and produce hormones like leptin and adiponectin. They are largely found in the chest, belly, and legs. Brown fat:What’s unique about brown, or thermogenic, fat is that it burns energy and produces heat in certain...
Beige fat cells are qualitatively different from brown fat cells in some ways. WAT cells and BAT cells are genetically distinct – whereas BAT cells are descended from other BAT cells, beige cells start life as WAT cells and differentiate into beige cells.[34] The main difference between brown...
6 , 7 ). This is consistent with the brown adipocyte specificity of Ucp1, as the other genes are also expressed in white adipocytes and possibly other cells in the developing fat tissue. Preadipocyte factor 1, a putative marker for the preadipocyte, decreased to very low levels by 20 days...
RalA is activated by insulin, mainly by inhibition of its GAP complex through phosphorylation24,51 and when activated, RalA interacts with components of the exocyst complex to target GLUT4 vesicles to the plasma membrane for fusion, increasing glucose uptake into fat cells21. Indeed, adipocytes ...
It should be noted that per-renal fat has been characterized as a brown fat depot in humans [5], suggesting that vitamin D likely also accumulates in BAT. Lawson’s study did not identify any obvious differences in vitamin D3 concentration in adipose tissue according to sex, age, or time...
