In a recent study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, researchers discuss diet-induced thermogenesis and determine whether reduced uncoupled protein 1 (UCP1) ...

Scientists are tackling society's growing obesity problem from all kinds of angles – and new research picks out a particular protein controlling how fat is burned off, which could potentially be a ...

Study reveals that Sirtuin 7 regulates the functions of brown adipose tissue, thereby playing a critical role in overall energy regulation. Mammals convert the energy stored in adipose (fat) tissue ...

Heat production in fat tissue, a trait also known as adipose tissue thermogenesis, evolved over two stages in mammals, fully developing in eutherian mammals after the group’s evolutionary divergence ...

Mammals convert the energy stored in adipose (fat) tissue into heat via a process known as thermogenesis. This process is regulated by a family of signaling proteins called sirtuins. A recent study by ...

Moreover, bulk sequencing data led scientists to conclude that brown and beige fat cells express uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1), which encodes the protein UCP1 that halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ...

Obesity remains one of the greatest health challenges worldwide, leading to diabetes, heart disease, and increased healthcare costs. Lifestyle changes and improved diets are critical but often ...
