- Title
Metabolism: A cold, brite start.
- Authors
Minton, Kirsty
- Abstract
The article reports on the study which shows that the expression of transcripts associated with white adipocytes was increased in former brite adipocytes. It also indicates that the whitening of former brite adipocytes involves the conversion to a functionally different cell type with the characteristics of white adipocytes. It reveals that a subset of inguinal adipocytes can cycle between white and brite phenotypes in adult mice as a physiological adaptation to temperature change.
