Alternative Complement Pathway Regulates Thermogenic Fat Function via Adipsin and Adipocyte-derived C3aR1 in a Sex-dependent Fashion
2022-12-31
Abstract excerpt
Thermogenesis in beige/brown adipose tissues can be leveraged to combat metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. The complement system plays pleiotropic roles in metabolic homeostasis and organismal energy balance with canonical effects on immune cells and non-canonical effects on non-immune cells. The adipsin/C3a/C3aR1 pathway stimulates insulin secretion and sustains pancreatic beta cell mass. Ho...
