Capsinoids suppress diet-induced obesity through uncoupling protein 1-dependent mechanism in mice

Capsinoids are less pungent capsaicin analogues that increase whole body energy expenditure and hence reduce fat. Several studies have suggested that capsinoids activate brown adipose tissue (BAT), a major site of adaptive thermogenesis, but the actual contribution of BAT and uncoupling protein 1 (U...
