Brown adipocytes and energy homeostasis in mice

Herzig S

Adipose tissue can be subdivided into two distinct categories of fat cells: white adipocytes are specialized for the storage of chemical energy such as triglycerides, and under conditions of obesity white adipose tissue is characterized by tissue inflammation and energy overload.In contrast, brown adipocytes dissipate energy in the form of heat (thermogenesis) by uncoupling of the mitochondrial electron transport chain from ATP formation through the spec...

Hypothyroidism and euthyroid antibody-positivity in pregnancy

Chan S

Overt hypothyroidism, diagnosed and treated with L-thyroxine pre-pregnancy, affects 1% of pregnancies. Untreated maternal hypothyroidism is associated with adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes, and even when partially treated the risks of miscarriage and prematurity remain elevated compared to euthyroidism. With increased understanding of the normal physiological changes to thyroid function during pregnancy, there should be a predictive approach to thyroxine ...
