Abstract:
The metabolic activity of adipose tissue,especially the thermogenic function of brown adipose tissue mediated by uncoupling protein 1(UCP-1),plays a significant role in the regulation of energy metabolism and the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases,cardiovascular diseases and tumors.However,UCP-1 itself could not be directly visualized with existed imaging techniques.The advancements of imaging techniques for indirectly assessing UCP-1 function based on adipose tissue metabolic activity were reviewed in this article.
