The human uncoupling protein-1 gene (UCP1): present status and perspectives in obesity research.

Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity - 1 Oct 2000

Del Mar Gonzalez-Barroso M, Ricquier D, Cassard-Doulcier A M

Abstract excerpt

Energy expenditure through brown adipose tissue thermogenesis contributes either to maintenance of body temperature in a cold environment or to wasted food energy, i.e. cold-induced or diet-induced thermogenesis. Both mechanisms are due to a specific and unique protein: the uncoupling protein-1. Uncoupling protein-1 is exclusively expressed in mitochondria of brown adipocytes where it uncouples respiration from...
