A transcribed ultraconserved noncoding RNA, uc.417, serves as a negative regulator of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis
21 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) oxidizes fatty acids for thermogenesis and could therefore be considered as part of a new strategy in combating obesity and associated metabolic diseases. It is well established that aging is accompanied by a decline of brown adipocyte regenerative capacity. How aging contributes to this loss is poorly understood. Here, we identify a long noncoding RNA, uc.417, which is transcribed from...
