Transcriptional Synergy and the Regulation of <i>Ucp1</i> during Brown Adipocyte Induction in White Fat Depots
31 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Induction of brown adipocytes in white fat depots by adrenergic stimulation is a complex genetic trait in mice that affects the ability of the animal to regulate body weight. An 80-fold difference in expression of the mitochondrial uncoupling gene (Ucp1) at the mRNA and protein levels between A/J and C57BL/6J (B6) mice is controlled by allelic interactions among nine quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on eight...
