    Abstract I had been working on the endocrine and signalling role of white adipose tissue (WAT) since 1994 following the identification of the ob (Lep) gene(1), this after some 15 years investigating the physiological role of brown adipose tissue. The ob gene, a mutation in which it is responsible for the profound obesity of ob/ob (Lepob/Lepob) mice, is expressed primarily in white adipocytes and encodes the pleiotropic hormone leptin. The discovery of this adipocyte hormone had wide-ranging implications, including that white fat has multiple functions that far transcend the traditional picture of a simple lipid storage organ.

    Abstract Brown adipose tissue (BAT) was first identified by Conrad Gessner in 1551, but it was only in 1961 that it was firmly identified as a thermogenic organ. Key developments in the subsequent two decades demonstrated that: (1) BAT is quantitatively important to non-shivering thermogenesis in rodents, (2) uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation through a mitochondrial proton conductance pathway is the central mechanism by which heat is generated, (3) uncoupling protein-1 is the critical factor regulating proton leakage in BAT mitochondria. Following pivotal studies on cafeteria-fed rats and obese ob/ob mice, BAT was then shown to have a central role in the regulation of energy balance and the etiology of obesity. The application of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the late 2000s confirmed that BAT is present and active in adults, resulting in renewed interest in the tissue in human energetics and obesity. Subsequent studies have demonstrated a broad metabolic role for BAT, the tissue being an important site of glucose disposal and triglyceride clearance, as well as of insulin action. BAT continues to be a potential target for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders.

    Abstract I had been working on the endocrine and signalling role of white adipose tissue (WAT) since 1994 following the identification of the ob (Lep) gene⁽¹⁾, this after some 15 years investigating the physiological role of brown adipose tissue. The ob gene, a mutation in which it is responsible for the profound obesity of ob/ob (Lepᵒᵇ/Lepᵒᵇ) mice, is expressed primarily in white adipocytes and encodes the pleiotropic hormone leptin. The discovery of this adipocyte hormone had wide-ranging implications, including that white fat has multiple functions that far transcend the traditional picture of a simple lipid storage organ.

    Abstract The paper is based on the lecture that I gave on receiving the Nutrition Society's inaugural Gowland Hopkins Award for contributions to Cellular and Molecular Nutrition. It reviews studies on the adipose tissues, brown and white, conducted by the groups that I have led since entering nutrition research in 1975. The initial focus was on exploring metabolic factors that underpin the development of obesity using animal models. This resulted in an interest in non-shivering thermogenesis with brown adipose tissue being identified as the key effector of facultative heat production. Brown fat is less thermogenically active in various obese rodents, and major changes in activity are exhibited under physiological conditions such as lactation and fasting consistent with a general role for the tissue in nutritional energetics. My interests moved to white adipose tissue following the cloning of the Ob gene. Our initial contributions in this area included demonstrating nutritional regulation of Ob gene expression and circulating leptin levels, as well as a regulatory role for the sympathetic nervous system operating through β3-adrenoceptors. My interests subsequently evolved to a wider concern with the endocrine/signalling role of adipose tissue. Inflammation is a characteristic of white fat in obesity with the release of inflammation-related adipokines, and we proposed that hypoxia underlies this inflammatory state. O2-deprivation was shown to have substantial effects on gene expression and cellular function in white adipocytes. The hypoxia studies led to the proposition that O2 should be considered as a critical macronutrient.
