Uncoupling protein-1 mRNA expression in obese human subjects: the role of sequence variations at the uncoupling protein-1 gene locus.

Journal of lipid research - 1 Apr 1998

Abstract excerpt

Uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) activity in brown adipose tissue increases thermogenesis, contributes to facultative energy expenditure in humans, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of rodent obesity. To determine genetic factors controlling UCP-1 expression in humans, we measured intra- and extraperitoneal UCP-1 mRNA abundance levels by a competitive RT-PCR method and compared expression levels with common...
