Article Abstract
Beige adipocyte, the third and relatively new type of adipocyte, can emerge in white adipose tissue (WAT) under thermogenic stimulations that is termed as browning of WAT. Recent studies suggest that browning of WAT deserves more attention and therapies targeting browning of WAT can be helpful for reducing obesity. Beyond the major inducers of browning, namely cold and β 3-adrenergic stimulation, beige adipocytes are affected by several factors, and excess adiposity per se may also influence the browning process. The objective of the present review is to provide an overview of recent clinical and preclinical studies on the hormonal and nonhormonal factors that affect the browning of WAT. This review further focuses on the role of obesity per se on browning process.

Some individuals exhibit metabolically healthy obesity, characterized by the expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT) without associated complications. The monoacylglycerol (MAG) hydrolase α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 6 (ABHD6) has been implicated in energy metabolism, with its global deletion conferring protection against obesity. However, the immunometabolic roles of adipocyte ABHD6 in WAT remodeling in response to nutri-stress and obesity are not known.

Polyphenols have been widely recognized for their potential anti-obesity effects. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a polyphenol compound-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, quercetin, and rutin (EQR) on obesity-related parameters and gut microbiota composition. After four weeks of high-fat diet (HFD) induction, the obese Wistar male rats received EQR treatment for an additional four weeks.

Adipose tissue plays a crucial role in energy storage, but it also acts as an endocrine organ by secreting hormones and proinflammatory molecules. It regulates various processes, including adipogenesis, metabolism, and inflammation. White and brown adipose tissue (WAT and BAT) consists of white and brown adipocytes, respectively, which differ in cellular structure and function.

Background: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been proved to play essential roles in post-transcriptional regulation of genes associated with adipogenesis. However, the role of the RBP human antigen R (HuR) in the pathogenesis of obesity remains to be clarified.
Methods: Adipocyte-specific HuR knockout (HuR) and HuR floxed (HuR) mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD), or a paired normal control diet (NC) for 16 weeks.

Background: Obesity is a complex disease marked by excessive, dysfunctional adipose tissue accumulation. Recent research underscores the pivotal role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in metabolic health and its potential as a therapeutic target for obesity management. Emerging preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that second-generation anti-obesity drugs, especially dual agonists such as tirzepatide, may enhance BAT activity.
