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…
In the past few decades, the study of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) thermogenesis in adult human brought new insights to the problem of obesity. The presence of this tissue in newborn was already known and its importance to maintain body temperature and survival are undeniable. A recent study from our group demonstrated that mice lacking IL10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, are incapable to…
Obesity is now the major risk factor for a number of diseases, including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease , including diabetes , atherosclerosis and hypertension . The activation of a subclinical inflammatory process in the hypothalamus has been shown to be the triggering factor of weight gain associated with disorders such as insulin resistance. The activation of this inflam…
