Thermogenesis plays an important role in body energy homeostasis and thus contributes in the progression of a high-fat diet-induced obesity and obesity-related metabolic disorders. In the current study, we researched the effect of pine nut oil (PN) extracted from Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) on the expression of several thermogenic genes in brown adipose tissue (BAT) of the high-fat diet (HF)-fed mice. |
