The whole‐body (tachymetabolic) endothermy seen in modern birds and mammals is long
held to have evolved independently in each group, a reasonable assumption when it was …

Obesity-associated metabolic abnormalities comprise a cluster of conditions including
dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases that has affected …

Obesity occurs when excess energy accumulates in white adipose tissue (WAT), whereas
brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is specialized in dissipating energy through …

Skeletal muscle plays important roles in normal biological activities and whole-body energy
homeostasis in humans. The growth and development of skeletal muscle also directly …

Thermogenesis in endotherms relies on both shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis
(NST). The role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in NST is well recognized, but the role of …

White (WAT) and brown (BAT) adipose tissue communicate with skeletal muscle and heart
through the secretion of adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, omentin, osteopontin or …

Avian cold adaptation is hallmarked by innovative strategies of both heat conservation and
thermogenesis. While minimizing heat loss can reduce the thermogenic demands of body …

Brown and beige adipocytes contribute significantly to the regulation of whole body energy
expenditure and systemic metabolic homeostasis not exclusively by thermogenesis through …

In previous studies, adipocytes were found to play an important role in regulating whole-
body nutrition and energy balance, and are also important in energy metabolism, hormone …

Exercise and cold exposure are two stimuli that have been suggested as solely effective to
modulate adipose tissue metabolism and improve metabolic health in obese populations …
