The chemical uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol (dnp) protects against diet-induced obesity and improves energy homeostasis in mice at thermoneutrality*

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Margalit Goldgof from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research work: The Chemical Uncoupler 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) Protects against Diet-induced Obesity and Improves Energy Homeostasis in Mice at Thermoneutrality*, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of July/11,/2014

SUMMARY

    In 1948, its mechanism of action was discovered, revealing that DNP is a protonophore, able to move protons through lipid bilayers and thus to chemically uncouple substrate oxidation from ATP production. Mammals naturally use an uncoupling protein in brown adipose_tissue (BAT) and beige/brite adipose_tissue to generate heat to maintain core body temperature . . .
