p107 Deficiency Increases Energy Expenditure by Inducing Brown‐Fat Thermogenesis and Browning of White Adipose Tissue

Abstract

These data allowed the unmasking of a mechanism by which a KO of p107 prevents diet-induced obesity by increasing energy expenditure via increased thermogenesis in BAT and browning of WAT, indicating the relevance of p107 as a modulator of metabolic activity of both brown and white adipocytes. Therefore, it can be targeted for the development of new therapies to ameliorate the metabolic syndrome.
