Adipose Tissue and Metabolism

This cluster of papers focuses on the function and physiological significance of brown adipose tissue, including its role in thermogenesis, the involvement of PGC-1a and UCP1, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, beige adipocytes, metabolic regulation, and the impact of exercise on brown adipose tissue. The papers also explore the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive thermogenesis and the potential therapeutic implications for metabolic disorders.
