Deskripsi

Understanding the regulatory mechanisms governing brown and beige adipose mediated thermogenesis is of interest in order to develop therapeutic strategies to treat obesity. Here, the authors show that adipocyte-expressed apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibits browning in response to cold, β3 receptor activation, and LPS.
