OBJECTIVE: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) burns fatty acids (FAs) to produce heat, and shows diurnal oscillation in glucose and triglyceride (TG)-derived FA-uptake, peaking around wakening. Here we aimed to gain insight in the diurnal regulation of metabolic BAT activity.
Lipid metabolism drives cancer progression but is difficult to model using conventional methods. In vivo models provide circulating lipids, but are costly and low throughput, while in vitro models lack sufficient lipid availability in culture media. Here, we evaluate the chick chorioallantoic mem...
