Metabolic and thermogenic properties of the subcutaneous white adipose tissue of wild and laboratory rodents

Abstract

For the first time biochemical analysis of inguinal adipose tissue of korean mouse (Apodemus peninsulae) and short-tailed vole (Microtus agrestis) have performed. Expression of uncoupling protein UCP1 in inguinal fat was combined with high metabolic and oxidative activity of this fat depot in wild rodents, in comparison with laboratory mice. Studies of the adipose tissues in animals from natural populations can be useful for the elucidating of the physiological norm of their functioning and for the development of regimes for the prevention and correction of metabolic disorders
