A Genetic Model to Study the Contribution of Brown and Brite Adipocytes to Metabolism
1 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
UCP1-dependent thermogenesis is studied to define new strategies to ameliorate obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, animal models are mostly limited to germline mutations of UCP1, which can effect adaptive changes in UCP1-independent pathways. We develop an inducible mouse model for the sequential ablation of UCP1 + brown and brite/beige adipocytes in adult mice. We demonstrate that activated brown adipocytes...
