Cold weather triggers brown fat to burn energy, thanks to a newly discovered protein switch. This natural calorie-burning ...

Beige fat cells have features midway between white and brown. They come from white parent cells, but function like brown fat cells by burning energy to produce heat when the core body temperature ...

Fat Chance: Brown Vs. White Fat Cell Specification Date: May 14, 2008 Source: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Summary: Scientists elucidate the molecular pathway that induces cells to become energy ...

Not all fat acts equally. It’s been established that brown fat can burn energy and generate heat, while white fat is far more common, and can store energy and release hormones. It’s been suggested ...

Brown fat cells, unlike white, generate heat to keep us warm. That’s particularly useful if you are a baby and you can’t shiver to keep yourself from getting too cold.

This caused the white fat cells to start burning calories, like brown cells do, when exposed to cold. And when the researchers blocked CK2 in mice on a high-fat diet, it stopped the animals from ...

Researchers are getting closer to learning how to turn white fat cells into brown fat cells, in a process called 'beiging,' to bring down blood sugar levels and fight diabetes. The work suggests ...

Most of our body’s fat cells are white (we lose much of our brown fat by the time we turn 1), and these cells are important as a secondary or emergency source of energy.

Beige fat cells have features midway between white and brown. They come from white parent cells, but function like brown fat cells by burning energy to produce heat when the core body temperature ...

In the May 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Bruce Spiegelman (Dana Farber Cancer Institute) and colleagues elucidate the molecular pathway that induces cells to become energy-burning brown fat cells as ...

White fat cells are primarily designed to store energy, while brown fat cells play a key role in keeping our body temperature stable. When we’re cold, these cells will burn sugar and fat to heat ...
