Regulation of energy balance by brown adipose tissue: at least three potential roles for physical activity
3 BRITE cells possess a multilocular morphology, enriched mitochondria and express the brown adipocyte-specific UCP-1. A potential clinical implication of activating BAT relates to the stimulation of ...

A Protein That Converts Fat-Storing Cells into Calorie-Burning Cells
However, he thinks that combining approaches to control both food intake and energy expenditure will yield more effective anti-obesity drugs than simply activating energy-burning brown fat. “Having ...

Bile acids regulate energy homeostasis via a thyroid-hormone-signaling pathway
In both human muscle cells and mouse brown adipocytes, bile acids increased D2 activity and oxygen consumption by binding to the G-protein-coupled receptor TGR5, causing cyclic AMP levels to rise.
