초록

Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are transmembrane proton transporters present in the mitochondria. In UCPs. UCP1 and UCP3 play an important role in adaptive thermogenesis by uncoupling mitochondrial oxidation of substrates from ATP synthesis. PPARg coactivator 1(PGC-1) regulates transcriptional activity of PPARg and other nuclear receptors and controls the expression of UCPs. (omitted)
