The ability of white and brown adipose tissue to efficiently take up long-chain fatty acids is key to their physiological functions in energy storage and thermogenesis respectively. Several approaches have been taken to determine uptake rates by cultured cells as well as primary adipocytes including radio- and fluorescently labeled fatty acids. In addition, the recent description of activatable bioluminescent fatty acids has opened the possibility for expanding these in vitro approaches to real-time monitoring of fatty acid uptake kinetics by adipose depots in vivo. Here we will describe some of the most useful experimental paradigms to quantitatively determine long-chain fatty acid uptake by adipocytes in vitro and provide the reader with detailed instruction on how bioluminescent probes for in vivo imaging can be synthesized and used in living mice.
