Metabolic homeostasis operates differently in men and women. This sex asymmetry is the
result of evolutionary adaptations that enable women to resist loss of energy stores and …

Physiological Significance. Physiol Rev 84: 277–359, 2004; 10.1152/physrev. 00015.2003 …

Prevalence and health consequences of obesity differ between men and women. Yet, most
preclinical studies investigating the etiology of obesity have, to date, been conducted in …

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

OBJECTIVE Brown adipose tissue (BAT) regulates energy homeostasis and fat mass in
mammals and newborns and, most likely, in adult humans. Because BAT activity and BAT …

Excessive fat accumulation in the body causes overweight and obesity. To date, research
has confirmed that there are two types of adipose tissue with opposing functions: lipid …

OBJECTIVE Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is present in adult humans where it may be
important in the prevention of obesity, although the main factors regulating its abundance …

Gender-related differences in brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis of 110-day-old
rats were studied by determining the morphological and functional features of BAT. The …

Most of the genetic variation associated with diabetes, through genome-wide association
studies, does not reside in protein-coding regions, making the identification of functional …

Thermal homeostasis is a fundamental process in mammals, which allows the maintenance
of a constant internal body temperature to ensure an efficient function of cells despite …
