microRNA-33 maintains adaptive thermogenesis via enhanced sympathetic nerve activity

Adaptive thermogenesis is regulated by central neuronal circuits. Here, the authors show that microRNA-33 in the brain contributes to the maintenance of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and whole-body energy balance via enhanced sympathetic nerve tone, and regulating the expression of GABAa recept...
