| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Obesity is a recognized risk factor for serious disorders. Therefore, avoidance of obesity helps prevent serious lifestyle diseases. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of browning adipose tissue.
We showed that induction of browning adipose tissue in murine was markedly changed metabolism in inguinal adipose tissue using metabolome analysis. Furthermore, we found that amino acid, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid-associated metabolites were changed, particularly in inguinal adipose tissue.

脂肪細胞はエネルギーの貯蔵を一つの役割とする白色脂肪細胞だけでなく、積極的にエネルギー代謝を促す褐色脂肪細胞や褐色化様脂肪細胞等、多様なタイプが存在することが知られる一方、それぞれの関連性については不明確な部分が多く残されている。本研究では、白色脂肪細胞が褐色化様脂肪細胞に変遷する過程において、アミノ酸、糖、核酸関連に分類される代謝物が特に変動することを見出し、白色脂肪細胞が褐色化様脂肪細胞に変遷するメカニズム解明の一助となる知見を得ることができた。
