Dive into the fascinating world of white and brown fat cells as you explore their differences, energy storage, and dissipation mechanisms. Discover the latest progress in "brown conversion" of white fat and the presence of beige fat cells in adult humans, particularly in the neck region. Unravel questions about beige fat cell origins and the distinctions between classical brown fat and beige fat in adult humans. Explore the characteristics and differentiation of beige fat cells and their relationship to white adipose tissue. Learn how sympathetic stimulation impacts the transformation of white fat cells into beige adipocytes.

Something we learn from textbook • White fat cell • Store energy • Monolocular(单房的) • Brown fat cell • Dissipate energy [high mitochondrial UCP1(uncoupling protein 1)] • Multilocular • In small mammals, not in large mammals after infancy
Some new progress • “brown conversion”of white fat • Brown fat in adult humans • UCP1+ • Particularly in supraclavicular and neck region cold or cAMP • White fat tissue • UCP1﹣ • UCP1+ • brown fat cell • UCP1+ • Derived from myf-5 lineage
Questions • Beige fat cell is a distinct cell type or derived from white fat cells ? • The brown fat tissue in adult human is classical brown fat or beige fat ?
