The ability of brown adipocytes (fat cells) to dissipate energy as heat shows great promise for the treatment of obesity and other metabolic disorders. marker uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), as well as other general adipocyte markers. Cells within microstrands were responsive to a -adrenergic agonist with an increase in gene expression of thermogenic UCP1, indicating… Continue reading The ability of brown adipocytes (fat cells) to dissipate energy as
