摘要: The role of the nuclear receptor FXR in adaptive thermogenesis was investigated using FXR-deficient mice. Despite elevated serum bile acid concentrations and increased mRNA expression profiles thermogenic genes brown adipose tissue, FXR-deficiency did not alter energy expenditure under basal conditions. However, accelerated fasting-induced entry into torpor a leptin-dependent manner. mice were also extremely cold-intolerant. These altered responses may be linked to more rapid decrease plasma metabolic fuels (glucose, triglycerides) thus impairing uncoupling protein 1-driven thermogenesis. results identify as modulator homeostasis.
