Mitochondrial fusion, fission, and mitophagy form an essential axis of mitochondrial quality
control. However, quality control might not be the only task carried out by mitochondrial …

Physiological Significance. Physiol Rev 84: 277–359, 2004; 10.1152/physrev. 00015.2003 …

Summary Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is responsible for nonshivering
thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Upon activation by long-chain fatty acids …

Non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue is mediated by uncoupling protein 1
(UCP1), which provides a carefully regulated proton re-entry pathway across the …

The goal of this review is to place the exciting advances that have occurred in our
understanding of the molecular biology of the types 1, 2, and 3 (D1, D2, and D3 …

Summary That uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the sole mediator of adipocyte thermogenesis
is a conventional viewpoint that has primarily been inferred from the attenuation of the …

Mitochondria couple respiration to ATP synthesis through an electrochemical proton
gradient. Proton leak across the inner membrane allows adjustment of the coupling …

In modern eutherian (placental) mammals, brown adipose tissue (BAT) evolved as a
specialized thermogenic organ that is responsible for adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis …

Known for over a century, mitochondria have become during the last three decades an
important subject of research within several disciplines of experimental biology. For the …

Mitochondria play a central role in the survival and death of neurons. The detailed
bioenergetic mechanisms by which isolated mitochondria generate ATP, sequester Ca2+ …
