This project investigates how brown adipose tissue uses glucose during thermogenesis, employing advanced glucose-tracing technology and genome editing. The goal is to understand glucose metabolism in thermogenic fat, which could lead to new treatments for obesity and diabetes by enhancing calorie expenditure as heat.
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has a high capacity to dissipate chemical energy generated from glucose and lipids as heat, a process typically induced by cold exposure, termed thermogenesis.
This process has gained significant clinical interest as a strategy against obesity and diabetes because of its potential to expend excess calories as heat.
However, our understanding of BAT metabolism on an organismal level is still rudimentary, thus, to advance BAT-targeted therapies, we must first comprehensi…
