Lipids encompass a wide variety of molecules such as fatty acids, sterols, phospholipids,
and triglycerides. These molecules represent a highly efficient energy resource and can act …

Accurate, precise and reliable techniques for the quantification of body and organ fat
distributions are important tools in physiology research. They are critically needed in studies …

Melatonin limits obesity in rodents without affecting food intake and activity, suggesting a
thermogenic effect. Previously we demonstrated that melatonin browns subcutaneous fat in …

Fsp27 is a lipid droplet-associated protein almost exclusively expressed in adipocytes
where it facilitates unilocular lipid droplet formation. In mice, Fsp27 deficiency is associated …

Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs; SPG1-76 plus others) are length-dependent
disorders affecting long corticospinal axons, and the most common autosomal dominant …

The increasing incidence of obesity, leading to metabolic complications, is now recognized
as a major public health problem. The adipocytes are not merely energy-storing cells, but …

Abstract Methionine–choline-deficient (MCD) diet is a widely used dietary model of non-
alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in rodents. However, the contribution of adipose tissue to …

Purpose Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has transformed from an interfering tissue in

There is a major resurgence of interest in brown adipose tissue (BAT) biology, particularly
regarding its determinants and consequences in newborns and infants. Reliable methods …

This study aimed to track and evaluate the effect of low-dose irisin on the browning of white
adipose tissue (WAT) in mice using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) noninvasively in …
