    Relationships between expression levels of genes related to adipogenesis and adipocyte function in dogs

    There are three kinds of adipocytes; white adipocytes accumulate excess energy as fat, whereas brown/beige adipocytes dissipate energy through expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Obesity, a feature of e...
