Difference in intracellular temperature rise between matured and precursor brown adipocytes in response to uncoupler and β-adrenergic agonist stimuli

Abstract Brown adipocytes function to maintain body temperature by heat production. However, direct measurement of heat production at a single cell level remains difficult. Here we developed a method to measure the temperature within primary cultured brown adipocytes using a cationic fluorescent pol...
