Abstract

Activation of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis increases energy expenditure and promotes weight loss in mice. Here the authors identify neurotrophic factor neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) as an adipokine that regulates sympathetic nervous system growth and innervation in adipose tissue and increases white adipose beiging.
