Browning of Pig White Preadipocytes by Co-Overexpressing Pig PGC-1α and Mice UCP1

Background/Aims: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is critical for mammals’ survival in the cold environment. BAT-dependent non-shivering thermogenesis is attributed to uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1)’s disengagement of oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis and dissipates energy as heat. Thus individual...
