    • Brown Adipose Tissue Energy Metabolism in Humans 

      Carpentier, Andre C; Blondin, Denis P; Virtanen, Kirsi A; Richard, Denis; Haman, Francois; Turcotte, Eric E (Frontiers Media SA, 2018)
      The demonstration of metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) in humans primarily using positron emission tomography coupled to computed tomography (PET/CT) with the glucose tracer 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) has ...

    • Fatal complications after an interrupted gastric bypass operation in a patient with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and massive obesity: a case report 

      Käkelä, Pirjo; Rantanen, Tuomo; Paajanen, Hannu; Virtanen, Kirsi A (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2021)
      Obesity is closely linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the latter now being the most common cause of cirrhosis in Western countries. Only a few cases have been described, ...

    • Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and liver : a positron emission tomography study 

      Honka, Miikka-Juhani; Latva-Rasku, Aino; Bucci, Marco; Virtanen, Kirsi A; Hannukainen, Jarna C; Kalliokoski, Kari K; Nuutila, Pirjo (Bioscientifica, 2018)
      Objective Insulin resistance is reflected by the rates of reduced glucose uptake (GU) into the key insulin-sensitive tissues, skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue. It is unclear whether insulin resistance occurs ...

    • Ruskean rasvakudoksen toiminta ja merkitys 

      Laurila, Sanna; Lahesmaa, Minna; Nuutila, Pirjo; Virtanen, Kirsi A (Suomalainen lääkäriseura Duodecim, 2020)
      Ihmisen ruskea rasvakudos on herättänyt viime vuosina mielenkiintoa, koska sen määrän on osoitettu olevan yhteydessä kehon insuliiniherkkyyteen sekä pienempiin veren triglyseridipitoisuuksiin ja vyötärön ympärysmittaan. ...

    • Short dietary intervention with olive oil increases brown adipose tissue activity in lean but not overweight subjects 

      Monfort-Pires, Milena; U-Din, Mueez; Nogueira, Guilherme A; de Almeida-Faria, Juliana; Sidarta-Oliveira, Davi; Sant'Ana, Marcella Ramos; de Lima-Júnior, José C; Cintra, Dennys E; de Souza, Heraldo Possolo; Ferreira, Sandra R G; Sapienza, Marcelo Tatit; Virtanen, Kirsi A; Velloso, Licio A (The Endocrine Society, 2021)
      Background The brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a potential target for the treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders. Its activation by cold exposure or adrenergic drugs can increase systemic insulin sensitivity and improve ...
