1. 1. The effects of glucocorticoids on brown fat : physiological and molecular studies

   Författare :Ineke Luijten; Jan Nedergaard; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Sammanfattning : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is the main site for non-shivering thermogenesis in most mammals. The BAT-specific uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) uncouples substrate oxidation from ATP production and hereby decreases metabolic efficiency. LÄS MER

3. 2. Modulators of UCP1-dependent thermogenesis : Glucocorticoids, diet and novel research models

   Författare :Ineke H. N. Luijten; Jan Nedergaard; Onno Meijer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; brown adipose tissue; UCP1; glucocorticoids; diet-induced thermogenesis; obesity; physiology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Sammanfattning : The activation and recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis has been put forward as a promising strategy to reduce the disease burden of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Heat production by BAT can be attributed to the tissue-specific mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). LÄS MER
