The hereditary aspect of obesity is a major focus of modern medical genetics. The genetic
background is known to determine a higher-than-average prevalence of obesity in certain …

Background The relationship between uncoupling protein (UCP) 1–3 polymorphisms and
susceptibility to obesity has been investigated in several genetic studies. However, the …

Mitochondria and mitochondrial proteins represent a group of promising pharmacological
target candidates in the search of new molecular targets and drugs to counteract the onset of …

The study of brown adipose tissue (BAT) has gained significant scientific interest since the
