Correspondly, a pharmacological approach to increase UCP1 expression and activates of BAT thermogenesis and (or) recruits brown-like brite/beige cells in WAT may be a safer avenue to enhance wholebody energy expenditure, one complementary and alternative medicine for anti-obesity therapy [32, 33] . Our results indicate that as an effective BAT (as well as beige cell) activator, indirubin may have a protective effect on the prevention and treatment of obesity and related diseases, which involved in the up-regulation of UCP1 expression and enhancing the BAT activity and (or) inducing browning of sWAT, at least in part, via activation of PKA and p38MAPK signaling pathways. ./cache/cord-004502-3mkv3bal.txt ./txt/cord-004502-3mkv3bal.txt
