Role of Brown and Beige Adipose Tissues in Seasonal Adaptation in the Raccoon Dog (<i>Nyctereutes procyonoides</i>)

Role of Brown and Beige Adipose Tissues in Seasonal Adaptation in the Raccoon Dog (<i>Nyctereutes procyonoides</i>)

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) expresses uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1), which enables energy to be exerted towards needed thermogenesis. Beige adipocytes are precursor cells interspersed among white adipose tissue (WAT) that possess similar UCP1 activity and capacity for thermogenesis. The raccoon dog (&l...
