This research focuses on the differentiation and function of brown and white fat tissues, aiming to identify regulatory factors that influence their development. It seeks to develop strategies for treating obesity and related metabolic disorders.
Mammals have two types of fat: brown and white, with opposing functions.
The white adipose tissue (WAT) is an important regulator of the whole body homeostasis that also serves to store energy in form of triglycerides (TGs).
The main function of the brown adipose tissue (BAT) is to catabolize lipids in order to produce heat, a function that can be induced by cold exposure or diet.
