Abstract excerpt
Among a selected group of mouse strains susceptible to dietary obesity, those with an enhanced capacity for Ucp1 and brown adipocyte induction in white fat preferentially lost body weight following adrenergic stimulation. Based on the generality of this mechanism for reducing obesity, a genetic analysis was initiated to identify genes that control brown adipocyte induction in white fat depots in mice....
