Abstract:
Browning of white adipose tissue(WAT) is expected to become a possible new therapeutic means for diabetes mellitus and other metabolic diseases in future,because brown adipose tissue (BAT) has attracted scientific interest as an anti-diabetic tissue owning to its ability to dissipate energy as heat.In this article,we reviewed the characteristics of brown fat cells,the major transcription factor and the stimulating factor during browning of WAT,as well as their potential mechanisms and research directions.
