Humans and Mice Display Opposing Patterns of “Browning” Gene Expression in Visceral and Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue Depots
5 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Visceral adiposity is much more strongly associated with cardiometabolic disease in humans than subcutaneous adiposity. Browning, the appearance of brown-like adipocytes in the white adipose tissue (WAT), has been shown to protect mice against metabolic dysfunction, suggesting the possibility of new therapeutic approaches to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. In mice, subcutaneous WAT depots express higher levels...
