This study aimed to investigate the influence of childhood exercise and detraining on brown adipose tissue (BAT) whitening in obesity. Four-week-old male Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats ( = 9) and Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats ( = 24) were used as non-obese and obese animals, respectively. OLETF rats were divided into non-exercise sedentary ( = 9) and exercise groups. OLETF rats in the exercise group were further divided into subgroups according to the exercise period-exercise from 10- to 12-weeks-old ( = 6); and exercise from 4- to 6-weeks-old, and detraining from 6- to 12-weeks-old ( = 9). At 12-weeks-old, immediately after exercise period, BAT whitening in OLETF rats was inhibited by exercise despite the fact that hypertrophy was not caused in the plantaris muscle. However, the effectiveness was attenuated during the detraining period. Histological BAT whitening and downregulation of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) were found in non-exercise sedentary OLETF rats at 12-weeks-old. The downregulation was not inhibited, even though exercise histologically inhibited BAT whitening in OLETF rats. Childhood exercise decreased BAT whitening in obesity. Detraining attenuated the inhibition of BAT whitening. These results suggest that regular exercise is needed to improve BAT whitening and downregulation of UCP-1 in obesity.

Article Synopsis
- Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is critical for energy consumption, and its dysfunction can lead to metabolic diseases and obesity, especially as we age.
- The study identifies that perineurial cells, which have reduced antioxidant capacity due to lacking superoxide dismutase 2, impair BAT function by causing sympathetic nerve denervation and reducing fat oxidation.
- Targeting Meflin-expressing stromal cells may be a promising strategy to strengthen BAT function and combat age-related metabolic issues.

Thermogenesis of brown adipose tissues (BAT) provides metabolic benefits against pathological conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The thermogenic function of BAT relies on mitochondria, but whether mitochondrial remodeling is required for the beneficial effects of BAT remains unclear. We have recently identified FAM210A as a BAT-enriched mitochondrial protein essential for cold-induced thermogenesis through the modulation of OPA1-dependent cristae remodeling.

Unlabelled: Obesity is a major contributor to metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Although senescent cells have been shown to accumulate in adipose tissue, the role of senescence in obesity-induced metabolic disorders and in cardiac dysfunction is not yet clear; therefore, the therapeutic potential of managing senescence in obesity-related metabolic and cardiac disorders remains to be fully defined.
Objective: We investigated the beneficial effects of a senolytic cocktail (dasatinib and quercetin) on senescence and its influence on obesity-related parameters.
Dietary Lactate Intake and Physical Exercise Synergistically Reverse Brown Adipose Tissue Whitening to Ameliorate Diet-Induced Obesity.

Physical exercise represents an effective strategy for combating obesity via brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that the cooperation between lactate and adrenoceptor signaling regulated BAT activity during exercise. The lactate receptor GPR81 was highly expressed in the BAT of lean mice, whereas its expression was markedly decreased in obese mice.
