| description | Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a central role in energy homeostasis through non-shivering thermogenesis. Besides, recent human studies using 18FDG-PET/CT imaging demonstrated that BAT acts as a significant metabolic-sink for glucose. Notably, these functions in BAT decrease with age: however what regulates this process remains poorly understood. To this end, we employed RNA-seq to identify the transcriptional changes in BAT of young and old mice. |
