Cold-Induced Browning of Inguinal White Adipose Tissue Is Independent of Adipose Tissue Cyclooxygenase-2
1 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies using genetic mouse models have implicated COX-2 in the browning of white adipose tissues (WATs) in mice during cold exposure. However, COX-2 is important during development, and conventional knockouts (KOs) exhibit many defects, conditioned by genetic background. Similarly, the physiological relevance of transgenic overexpression of COX-2 is questionable. In the present study, we utilized mice...
