Adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate and thyroid hormone control of uncoupling protein messenger ribonucleic acid in freshly dispersed brown adipocytes.
We intend to develop in vitro model systems to study the hormonal regulation of uncoupling protein (UCP) and its role in brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. We report here that UCP mRNA responses to adrenergic and thyroid hormone manipulations in freshly dispersed, mature brown adipocytes mimic in vivo observations. Studies were performed in brown adipocytes […]
