Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in grey and white matter regions of the brain metabolize fatty acids
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-07)
The grey and white matter regions of the mammalian brain consist of both neurons and neuroglial cells. Among the neuroglia, the two macroglia oligodendrocytes and astrocytes are the most abundant cell ...
Increased infammation, oxidative stress and mitochondrial respiration in brown adipose tissue from obese mice
(Springer Nature, 2017-11-22)
Obesity is associated with severe metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. The pathophysiology of obesity-induced metabolic diseases ...
Hypothalamic AMPK-ER Stress-JNK1 axis mediates the central actions of thyroid hormones on energy balance
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
Thyroid hormones (THs) act in the brain to modulate energy balance. We show that central triiodothyronine (T3) regulates de novo lipogenesis in liver and lipid oxidation in brown adipose tissue (BAT) ...
