| Research Abstract |
We investigated the role of ZIP13 in adipocyte tissues, and recently we obtained the following preliminary data.
(1) Zip13-KO mice showed a reduction in subcutaneous WAT mass and visceral WAT mass as expected, while intriguingly the expression levels of several BAT markers including Ucp1 were increased in the subcutaneous WAT from Zip13-KO mice. (2) This browning phenotype of Zip13-KO cells occurs in a cell autonomous manner: namely, preadipocytes derived from subcutaneous WAT of Zip13-KO mice significantly induced the expression of several BAT markers in ex vivo cultures in response to a brown induction cocktail. (3) Zip13-KO mice showed a remarkable obesity-resistant phenotype when fed on a high fat diet. (4) Enhancement of insulin sensitivity was observed in Zip13-KO mice.
