Expression and Subcellular Localization of Estrogen Receptors α and β in Human Fetal Brown Adipose Tissue
12 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the unique ability of generating heat due to the expression of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). A recent discovery regarding functional BAT in adult humans has increased interest in the molecular pathways of BAT development and functionality. An important role for estrogen in white adipose tissue was shown, but the possible role of estrogen in human fetal BAT...
