Sleep deprivation (SD) can affect the adaptive thermogenesis in laboratory rodents, but the molecular mechanism and the crosstalk with other organs remain largely unknown. In order to investigate the effects and mechanisms of SD on thermoregulation and energy metabolism, here we measured the changes of body weight, body fat mass, body temperature, resting metabolic rate (RMR), and thermogenic gene expression in brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose tissue (WAT), skeleton muscle and liver in C57BL/6J mice during 7-day SD with rotating rod sleep deprivation device. Results showed that compared with the control group, the body weight and body fat mass of SD mice were decreased and RMR of SD mice increased. The gene expression of Ampk, Pgc1α and Ucp1 which related to thermogenesis in BAT and WAT were significantly increased, and the expression of Ampk, Serca1, Serca2 and Ucp3 which related to thermogenesis in skeletal muscle were significantly increased in SD mice. Taken together, these data demonstrated that 7-day SD enhanced the adaptive thermogenesis in mice by activating AMPK, including the upregulation of the AMPK - PGC1α - UCP1 pathway in BAT, and the AMPK - UCP3 and SLN - SERCA pathway in skeleton muscle. Our data provide the molecular evidence for SD-stimulated adaptive thermogenesis and energy metabolism in small mammals.

Severe burns are a major global health concern, and are associated with long-term physical and psychological impairments, multi-organ dysfunction, and substantial morbidity and mortality. While burn injuries in adults trigger systemic immuno-metabolic alterations-characterized by white adipose tissue browning, elevated resting energy expenditure, widespread catabolism, and inflammation-these adaptive responses are considerably impaired in older adults, with molecular mechanisms behind these differences remaining largely unclear. As a key regulator of systemic metabolism, investigating the pathological role of adipose tissue (AT) postburn may reveal novel targets that could potentially improve patient outcomes.

Postoperative shivering is a common complication following anesthesia, which can increase oxygen consumption, prolong recovery, and affect patient comfort and safety. Understanding its risk factors is important for improving postoperative outcomes and guiding preventive strategies. To investigate the associated risk factors for postoperative shivering after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to develop and validate a predictive model.

In this study, we produced instant dark tea (IDT) by liquid-state fermentation of Ziyang selenium-enriched summer-autumn tea leaves utilizing Eurotium cristatum. Then, the novel mechanism of IDT against obesity was investigated. Our results for the first time revealed that IDT could alleviate obesity by regulating the gut microbiota and promoting adipose thermogenesis.

Unlabelled: Mongolian gerbils had high ability to endure both high and cold temperatures. To study the mechanism of high ability for thermal adaptation, gerbils were acclimated to high temperature (30 °C) for 8 weeks, and were measured for metabolic features, body composition as well as mitochondrial content and activities. Lipidomic techniques were used to measure changes in mitochondrial membrane, including potential mitochondrial membrane remodeling during acute thermoregulation in gerbils.

In an interplay with parenchymal cells of metabolically active organs such as heart and adipose tissues, vascular endothelial cells are important for the regulation of nutrient uptake and organ-specific energy metabolism. Based on high expression of the scavenger receptor B1 (SR-B1) in capillary endothelial cells of white and brown adipose tissue (BAT), we proposed a functional role for this receptor in lipid handling and adaptive thermogenesis. To address this hypothesis, we generated mice with an endothelial-specific knockout of SR-B1 and performed metabolic turnover and indirect calorimetry studies in response to environmental cues such as cold exposure and high fat diet feeding.
