Membrane Potential of Brown Adipose Tissue
Membrane potentials were recorded in isolated segments of interscapular brown adipose tissue from rats. After equilibration at 29 degrees C in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer a mean value of -51 +/- 4 mv (SD) was found. This level could be maintained for up to 5 hr. The mean effective membrane resistance was 1.35 +/- 0.45 megohm. The membrane potential was a function of the extracellular potass...
متن کاملBrown adipose tissue biology and therapeutic potential
BROWN ADIPOSE TISSUE Brown adipose tissue (BAT) (Figure 1) has been recognized as a key thermogenic tissue in rodents for several decades. However, in the last few years, there has been a resurgent interest in the biology and therapeutic potential of BAT. This has been largely driven by a new understanding that most, if not all, healthy adult humans have significant deposits of BAT which can be...
متن کاملBrown adipose tissue
Obesity is currently a global pandemic, and is associated with increased mortality and co-morbidities including many metabolic diseases. Obesity is characterized by an increase in adipose mass due to increased energy intake, decreased energy expenditure, or both. While white adipose tissue is specialized for energy storage, brown adipose tissue has a high concentration of mitochondria and uniqu...

متن کاملRenaissance of brown adipose tissue.
The recent discovery of functional brown adipose tissue in human adults raised this tissue again into the focus of current investigations concerning human energy homeostasis. Brown fat is a key thermogenic tissue and is essential for non-shivering thermogenesis in the human newborn and hibernating mammals. This review highlights the biological and molecular aspects of brown adipose tissue devel...
