Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has demonstrated that the precursor of skeletal muscle cells, MYF-5-positive precursors, differentiate into brown adipocyte via transcriptional regulation of PRDM16 in interscapular. Brown adipocyte burns substrates, including fatty acid and glucose, to produce heat which is accompanied by rising energy consumption. Thus, it has been expected to provide a novel therapeutic intervention against obesity and obesity-related disease through the capacity of brown adipocytes. In the present study, in interscapular, it was shown that acute swimming exercise activated molecules of browning, although no changes were observed by acute running exercise. On the other hand, habitual running exercise attenuated significantly the mass of brown adipose tissue with increasing the differentiation into skeletal muscle in this region. These results suggest that both environmental factor and exercise pattern play a key role in exercise-induced browning of MYF-5-positive precursor cells in interscapular.
