The brown adipose tissue (BAT) has an important role in the thermoregulation of homeotherms. In response to cold, brown adipocytes promote uncoupled mitochondrial respiration, which results in heat production. In the last decade, studies have demonstrated that, in addition to its thermogenic activity, the BAT participates in the endogenous regulation of lipid and glucose levels, and that …
In recent decades, there has been a global increase in the number of overweight and obese people, conditions that predispose to the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other metabolic disorders that put the population's quality of life and longevity at risk. Several studies have shown that increased intake of high-fat diets is one of the main determinants of obesity. Furth…
The ability to respond to environment is crucial for offspring survival after leaving mother protection. The mammals must be able to rapidly control and maintain their body temperature after birth using an specialized tissue, the brown adipose tissue (BAT). Its abundance of mitochondria and the presence of uncoupling protein 1 -UCP1- allow this tissue to use storage energy to produce heat…
