Abstract
The hypothesis that the novel uncoupling protein UCP3 is thermogenic and/or thermoregulatory is discussed. In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models are presented. The beta(3)-adrenoceptors are crucial for the appearance of UCP1-expressing cells in the white adipose tissue. These cells might differ from classical brown adipocytes. Besides its well-known effect on brown adipose tissue UCP1, leptin might stimulate indirectly muscle UCP3 expression.Entities:
