Molecular determinants of brown adipocyte formation and function: Figure 1.
Open accessAbstract
Humans contain essentially two types of adipose tissue: brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT). The function of WAT is to store fat while that of BAT is to burn fat for heat production. A potential strategy to combat obesity and its related disorders is to induce the conversion of WAT into BAT. In this issue of Genes & Development, Kajimura and colleagues (pp. 1397–1409) have identified a mechanism by which PRDM16, the principal regulator of brown adipocyte formation and function, can simultaneously induce BAT gene expression, while suppressing WAT gene expression. The studies suggest that PRDM16 and its associated coregulators PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and C-terminal-binding protein 1/2 (CtBP1/2), which control the switch from WAT to BAT, are potential targets for development of obesity-related therapeutics.

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.
