Abstract excerpt
To identify novel regulatory factors controlling induction of the brown adipocyte-specific mitochondrial uncoupling protein (Ucp1) mRNA in the retroperitoneal white fat depot, we previously mapped quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control this trait to chromosomes 2, 3, 8, and 19. Since the peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) regulates Ucp1 and other genes of energy...
