| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Induction of brown-like adipocytes in white adipose tissue suggests
a new approach for preventing and treating obesity via induction of thermogenesis aasociated with uncoupling protein 1. Here, we demonstrate that several food-derived factors significantly induces brown-like adipocytes in cells and mice. These findings may provide insight into browning of white adipocytes including the molecular mechanism mediated by food-derived factors and demonstrate that food-derived factors have a novel biological function with regard to increasing energy expenditure by browning of white adipocytes.
