- Extra Details:
- Culture medium for brown adipocytes (Cat. No. PMC-BAT10C-COS). Brown Adipocytes (rat) (Cat. No. PMC-BAT10C-COS) are preadipocytes isolated from rat brown adipose tissue. Adipose tissue plays an important role in mammalian energy equilibrium. White adipose tissue mainly has energy-storing function, but brown adipose tissue has very different function as energy-dissipating due to a unique mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP). Brown adipose tissue is especially abundant in newborns and in hibernating mammals. Its primary function is to generate body heat in animals or newborns that do not shiver. In contrast to white adipocytes, which contain a single lipid droplet, brown adipocytes contain numerous smaller droplets and a much higher number of mitochondria, which contain iron and make it brown. Brownfat also contains more capillaries than white fat, since it has a greater need for oxygen than most tissues., PMC
