Eat Browning

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) browning is the conversion of energy-storing white fat surrounding the heart into brown-like, thermogenic adipose tissue, a process of interest in cardiovascular and metabolic medicine. During browning, sympathetic signaling and other metabolic cues promote mitochondrial development and expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), allowing adipocytes to dissipate stored energy as heat rather than generate ATP. Studying EAT browning may clarify how cardiac fat influences inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular function. This process also provides a potential target for therapies designed to improve energy metabolism and reduce cardiometabolic disease risk.

Binge Eating Disorders

0 Views •

2025

Binge eating disorder is a significant mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption within a short period, accompanied by a perceived loss of control over eating behavior. Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...

Subjects eat food from a plate placed on a scale connected to a computer that records the weight loss of the plate during the meal. Feedback on the computer screen allows the subject to adapt her/his eating behavior to reference curves thus normalizing body weight.

Exogenous Mitochondrial Transfer in Differentiating Brown Adipocytes and AGPAT2-Deficient Preadipocytes

0 Views •

2026

Exogenous mitochondria of human and murine origin can be internalized by differentiating preadipocytes and tracked throughout adipogenic differentiation using imaging and genetic tools. While these mitochondria physically interact with the endogenous mitochondrial network, they do not increase the expression of markers associated with mature brown adipocytes.
