Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis for evaluating the effect of maternal high-fructose intake on fetal brown fat development. We find that maternal high-fructose intake induces myogenic signature in fetal brown fat, indicating impairment of brown fat development by maternal high-fructose intake.
Project description:Analysis of brown adipose tissue from Yin Yang 1 (YY1) brown fat specific knockout mice fed a high fat diet for 3 months. YY1 deficiency in brown adipose tissue leads to strong thermogenic deficiency. The goal was to identify the genes controlled by YY1 responsible of brown fat defective function.
