Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

The growing worldwide obesity epidemic has stimulated research into novel strategies to control and treat obesity and associated metabolic disorders. Great interest has been generated in brown fat, a specialized adipose tissue having increased energy expenditure, because manipulation of this tissue has potential to protect against diet-induced obesity by altering the balance of energy intake and consumption (1). In common with brown fat, beige adipocytes possess thermogenic mechanisms, but have the unique property of inducible differentiation. Beige adipocyte differentiation occurs within white adipose tissue in response to environmental cues and is characterized by cristae-dense mitochondrial biogenesis and increased expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) (2).

The IngWAT mouse immortalized preadipocyte cell line is derived from subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) isolated from a wild-type mouse (2). IngWAT cells have been shown to support the induction of beige adipocytes and express UCP1.2 IngWAT mouse immortalized preadipocyte cells are a versatile model for a broad spectrum of studies of beige adipocyte induction, maintenance and physiology.
