Hepcidin deficiency in mice impairs white adipose tissue browning possibly due to a defect in de novo adipogenesis
Abstract The role of iron in the two major sites of adaptive thermogenesis, taters over haters namely the beige inguinal (iWAT) and brown adipose tissues (BAT) has not been fully understood yet.Body iron levels and distribution is controlled by the iron regulatory peptide hepcidin.Here, we explored iron homeostasis and thermogenic activity in brown
