Regulation of liver and brain hexose monophosphate dehydrogenases by insulin and dietary intake in the female rat.

abstract：:Recruitment of the brown-like phenotype in white adipocytes (browning) and activation of existing brown adipocytes are currently being investigated as a means to combat obesity. Thus, a wide variety of dietary agents that contribute to browning of white adipocytes have been identified. The present study was designed t...
