Lipid Droplets in Brown Adipose Tissue Are Dispensable for Cold-Induced Thermogenesis
Summary: Brown adipocytes store metabolic energy as triglycerides (TGs) in lipid droplets (LDs). Fatty acids released from brown adipocyte LDs by lipolysis are thought to activate and fuel UCP1-mediated thermogenesis. Here, we test this hypothesis by preventing fatty acid storage in murine brown adi...
