2. Modulators of UCP1-dependent thermogenesis : Glucocorticoids, diet and novel research models
Abstract : The activation and recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis has been put forward as a promising strategy to reduce the disease burden of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Heat production by BAT can be attributed to the tissue-specific mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). READ MORE
