Methods for assessment, eg., anthropometric indicators and imaging techniques, of several
phenotypes of human obesity, with special reference to abdominal fat content, have been …

Animal and plant uncoupling protein (UCP) homologues form a subfamily of mitochondrial
carriers that are evolutionarily related and possibly derived from a proton/anion transporter …

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) uncouples respiration from oxidative phosphorylation and may
contribute to obesity through effects on energy metabolism. Because basal metabolic rate is …

▪ Abstract Skeletal muscle contains the majority of the body's glycogen stores and a similar
amount of readily accessible energy as intramyocellular triglyceride (imTG). While a number …

Uncoupling proteins are mitochondrial carrier proteins which are able to dissipate the proton
gradient of the inner mitochondrial membrane. This uncoupling process reduces the amount …

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) mRNA expression has been shown to be altered by metabolic
conditions such as obesity in humans, but its functional significance is unknown. The …

SUMMARY The uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) homologues UCP2 and UCP3 are able to
uncouple ATP production from mitochondrial respiration, thereby dissipating energy as heat …

We have previously shown that hexarelin, a novel GH-releasing peptide (GHRP), is able to
elicit GH release when administered iv, sc or by mouth and that it is a more potent GH …

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that belongs to
the uncoupling protein family and plays an important role in lowering mitochondrial …

Capsiate is a nonpungent capsaicin analog, a recently identified principle of the nonpungent
red pepper cultivar CH-19 Sweet. In the present study, we report that 2-wk treatment of …
