Evidence from in vitro differentiating cells that adrenoceptor agonists can increase uncoupling protein mRNA level in adipocytes of adult humans: An RT-PCR study

Abstract

In vivo data have suggested that adrenergic signals can reactivate dormant brown adipocytes in adult humans. We report here a system based on primary cultures of perirenal adipocytes from human adults and reverse transcription-PCR of uncoupling protein mRNA. Norepinephrine and compounds classified as beta 3-adrenoceptor agonists in rodents increased uncoupling protein mRNA level in human adipocytes (presumably brown adipocytes). Although we did not demonstrate that the observed effect was mediated by beta 3-adrenoceptors, it is proposed that this system could be used to appreciate the ability of beta-adrenoceptor agonists to activate UCP gene transcription and help to select beta 3-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists prior to in vivo trials; indeed, the difficulty in developing such drugs that are effective in humans may result from the fact that the screening of molecules has historically been made in rodents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
