The role of brown and brite fat in energy balance regulation

Klingenspor Martin

Three major observations triggered a revitalized interest in the role of brown fat in energy balance and the metabolic benefits of this thermogenic tissue in humans. Firstly, progenitors of brown adipocytes derive from the muscle lineage whereas recruitable brown-like adipocytes in white fat, termed brite (brown-in-white), can be of other developmental origin. Secondly, healthy adult humans have metabolically powerful brown/brite fat that is activated by acute cold exposure, &...

Role of brown adipose tissue activation in lipid metabolism and cardiometabolic health

Rensen Patrick C

Activated brown adipose tissue (BAT) combusts high amounts of intracellular lipids into heat. In the past few years, we have investigated the consequences of BAT activation for lipid metabolism and cardiometabolic health. Initially, we showed that South Asians, a population characterized by dyslipidemia and prone to develop type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease compared to white Caucasians, have low BAT activity correlating with low energy expenditure (Lancet Diab Endocri...
