In contrast to white adipose tissue (WAT), the primary function of ... by the presence of the unique mitochondrial protein, UCP1, which functions by uncoupling the process of substrate oxidation ...

brown adipose tissue (BAT) converts excess energy into heat via uncoupled respiration, which is dependent, in part, on expression by brown adipocytes of the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1).

This groundbreaking study, published in Nature Communications, sheds light on how activating brown adipose tissue (BAT ... of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a protein critical for thermogenesis.

Scientists are tackling society's growing obesity problem from all kinds of angles – and new research picks out a particular ...

This study, published in Nature Communications, sheds light on how activating brown adipose ... UCP1 expression and mitochondrial activity in adipocytes. This finding reveals a novel signaling ...

These findings expand the limited white, beige, and brown classification schema ... “This finding challenges the long-held belief that UCP1 is required for thermogenesis,” Wankhade said. Another ...

ugr.es Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the ability to oxidise glucose and lipids, and dissipate energy in the form of heat.1 Thus, it could provide one method to influence energy balance—and therefore, ...

Newly reported research in human tissue and in mice has uncovered a mechanism by which brown fat (brown adipose tissue; BAT) is converted into heat, and identified a control protein that may ...

This work reveals a new mechanism ... Brown fat and obesity Obesity is the result of either excessive food intake or inadequate total energy expenditure. We now know that adipose tissue –body ...
