Beige adipocytes are newly identified thermogenic-poised adipocytes that could be activated by cold or β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) signaling and offer therapeutic potential for treating obesity and metabolic diseases. Here we applied RNA-sequencing analysis in the beige fat of mice under cold exposure or β3-AR agonist CL316,243 (CL) treatment to provide a comparative and comprehensive analysis for the similarity and heterogeneity of these two stimulants. Importantly, via KEGG analysis, we found that cold and CL commonly induced oxidative phosphorylation. Meanwhile, cold increased glycerolipid and amino acids metabolism while CL treatment triggered a broader spectrum of metabolic responses including carbohydrate metabolism. Besides, cold or CL treatment featured greater heterogeneity in downregulated gene programs. Of note, the top changed genes in each category were confirmed by qPCR analysis. Overall, our analysis provided a better understanding of the heterogeneity of differential models for beige adipocytes activation and a possible clue for optimizing β3-AR agonists in the future.

Pain is a multifactorial debilitating condition associated with some psychiatric comorbidities such as generalized anxiety and depression. Concerning pharmacological treatment, which is often inefficient or associated with intense side effects, the physical and social context may be fundamental for patient's health improvement. In this sense, we sought to assess the impact of an enriched environment (EE) on neuropathic pain (NP) and depression comorbid.

The relationship between air pollution exposure and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) risk in children is underexplored and uncertain. Therefore, the impact of numerous air pollutants on the incidence of NAR in a Chinese pediatric population were investigated. Data on daily outpatient visits for NAR among children aged 0-18 years from 2015 to 2021 were obtained from Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital.

To unveil the mechanisms underlying the compromised growth in Atlantic wolffish when reared at higher temperatures, we investigated the relationship between temperature, growth rate, aerobic capacity, stress biomarkers, and gut barrier function. Juveniles acclimated to 10°C were maintained at 10°C (control) or exposed to 15°C for either 24 h (acute exposure) or 50 days (chronic exposure).

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death globally. Yet, further research is required into the relationship between CVD and extreme environmental temperatures. This study aims to explore the association between the incidence of CVD and extreme temperatures, and also to identify susceptible subgroups within the population.

Cold temperature is an effective method of achieving out-of-season reproduction and obtaining fry in the autumn. This study investigated the effects of low-temperature (12-16 °C) environment on the out-of-season reproduction of largemouth bass, particularly the delayed effects on ovarian development. During the period of delayed out-of-season reproduction, there was a significant reduction in the levels of serum sex hormones (FSH and LH) and their respective receptors (FSHR and LHCGR).
