Abstract
Serotonin acts as neurotransmitter in the brain and as a multifaceted signaling molecule coordinating many physiological processes in the periphery. In a recent issue of Nature Medicine, Crane et al. (2014) find that peripheral serotonin controls thermogenesis in adipose tissue by modulating β-adrenergic stimulation of UCP-1, thereby affecting glucose homeostasis and weight gain.Entities:
