Regulation of energy expenditure by mitochondrial dynamics in brown adipose tissue from subcellular to whole body level

Obesity is a disorder of energy imbalance in which energy intake exceeds energy expenditure (EEX). Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is unique in that it can increase whole body EEX when it is adrenergically activated. The thermogenic capacity of BAT is mediated by mitochondrial uncoupling through the acti...
