A team from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School found that mice lacking a specific gene developed an unusually potent form of brown fat tissue that expanded lifespan and increased exercise capacity by ...

Mouse models are one of the most powerful ... Not all adipose tissue is bad for metabolic health; brown adipose tissue is associated with cardiometabolic health in humans. Yu-Hua Tseng, a ...

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 ...

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, ...

BAT thermogenesis is triggered by the release of norepinephrine from the sympathetic nerve terminals which stimulates β3-adrenergic receptors, turning on a cascade of intracellular events ...

“This mouse model performs exercise better than ... such as loss of hair and graying that appear in normal elderly mice. Their brown adipose tissue also protects them from obesity, glucose ...
