The demonstration of metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) in humans primarily
using positron emission tomography coupled to computed tomography (PET/CT) with the …

Background & Aims Exercise is a first-line therapy for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD). We sought to: 1) summarize effective aerobic and resistance exercise …

Diminished mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic capacity are associated
with reduced longevity. We tested whether resveratrol (RSV), which is known to extend …

The main parenchymal cells of the adipose organ are adipocytes. White adipocytes store
energy, whereas brown adipocytes dissipate energy for thermogenesis. These two cell types …

Aims Exercise is beneficial in obesity, however, the debate about the value of high-intensity
interval training (HIIT) vs. moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) has been long …

The obesity epidemic is a global issue and shows no signs of abating, while the cause of
this epidemic remains unclear. Marketing practices of energy-dense foods and institutionally …

Context: In humans, the prevalence, mass, and glucose-uptake activity of 18F-
fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)-detected brown adipose tissue (BAT), which are expectedly …

The uncarboxylated form of the osteoblast-specific secreted molecule osteocalcin is a
hormone favoring glucose handling and increasing energy expenditure. As a result, the …

In mammals, adipocytes are lipid-laden cells making up the parenchyma of the multi-depot
adipose organ. White adipocytes store lipids for release as free fatty acids during fasting …

The chapter provides a review of the state of art of the oxidative phosphorylation system in
mammalian mitochondria. The sections of the paper deal with:(i) the respiratory chain as a …
