“…Such dark fat-depleted cells never occur in white fat tissue. It is likely that the fat-depleted brown fat cells proposed by AHERNE and HULL (1966), HEATON (1972) and the present authors (TANUMA et al, 1975) cases of various diseases; he found especially numerous cyanochromatic granular cells in the cases of adrenolipoid syndrome which he described. They occur most frequently and numerously in perirenal fat tissues from infants (Fig.…”

“…UMAHARA (1968), who has examined the interscapular brown fat of the Rhinolophus bat monthly throughout one year, observed small brown fat cells containing a few small fat droplets in April and August but seldom in January; neither could he reveal darkly stained fatdepleted cells comparable with human such cells. It is likely that the fat-depleted brown fat cells proposed by AHERNE and HULL (1966), HEATON (1972) andTANUMA et al (1975) may be identical with the "cyanochromatic granular cells" proposed by FEYR-TER (1973). Although WEGENER (1951) regarded the cyanochromatic granular cells as normal cells of the brown fat, FEYRTER (1973) ascribed them a pathological nature (vide supra).…”

“…However, according to HEATON (1972), the active brown fat cells persist longest in abdominal brown fats including the perirenal and periaortic brown fat, therefore, for this light microscope observation on human brown fat tissue, perirenal brown fats have been applied and fixed immediately after the necropsy in 10% formalin solution and stained by hematoxylineosin. Using these preparations, three papers reviewed have already been published by TANUMA et al (1975TANUMA et al ( , 1976 and ITO et al (1979). Many efforts to make electron microscopic preparations from the necropsy samples have been attempted, but in vain.…”

The house musk shrew (Suncus murinus), or suncus, is a unique experimental mammal that is cold intolerant. However, even basic knowledge of brown adipose tissue (BAT), which is important for non-shivering thermogenesis (NST), is minimal. Therefore, we exposed suncus for 18 days to mild cold temperatures (8-14°C) and/or a high-fat diet, which are factors that increase NST, and measured two mRNAs that are critical for NST in BAT, uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) and type II 5 ' -deiodinase (D2

Catecholaminergic and peptidergic nerves in naturally occurring and pheochromocytoma‐associated human brown adipose tissue

Noradrenergic and peptidergic innervations in naturally occurring and pheochromocytoma-associated human perirenal brown adipose tissue were demonstrated. The presence of both parenchymal and periarterial noradrenergic nerve plexuses was revealed by the sucrose-potassium-glyoxylic-acid (SPG) technique in all tissue samples. Immunohistochemical studies also indicated the presence of neuropeptide Y-like, calcitonin gene-related peptidelike, substance P-like, and bombesinlike immunoreactive nerves in the adventitia of both inter-and intralobular arteries. At a more peripheral level, only neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactive elements were observed in the parenchymal field. No somatostatinlike or enkephalinlike immunoreactivity was detected. The specific distributions of noradrenergic and peptidergic nerves were similar in both naturally occurring and pheochromocytoma-associated brown adipose tissue. Thus these findings indicate a plurality of innervation in human perirenal brown fat.Jky words: human brown fat, natural phaeochromocytoma-associated innervations
