Effects of Ethanol on the Induction of Uncoupling Protein-1 (UCP1) mRNA in the Mouse Brown Adipose Tissue

Expression of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) is increased by cold acclimation and overfeeding, and reduced in fasting and genetic obesity. It is known that the mitochondrial UCP1 in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an important key molecule for non-shivering thermogenesis. On the other hand, ethanol (...
