| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Brown adipocyte differentiation was stimulated in adipose tissues and diet-induced obesity was reduced in aP2-CREG1-Tg mice under HFD feeding condition.In addition, oxygen consumption level was increased in aP2-CREG1-Tg mice after administration of β3-adrenergic receptor agonist, suggesting that thermogenic capacity is increased in these mice.Insulin resistance associated with diet-induced obesity was also improved in aP2-CREG1-Tg mice compared with WT mice.
These results suggest that CREG1 could be a novel endocrine factor with therapeutic potential for obesity and metabolic syndromes.
