Oliver et al., Pflugers Arch 2001
(Body Weight) :
In IWAT and IBAT , leptin expression increased steadily during the 12-month period studied and was significantly lower than levels in EWAT and RWAT
Hausberg et al., Diabetes 2002
(Hypothermia...) :
In lean Sprague-Dawley rats, hypothermia induced increases in IBAT-SNA were significantly augmented by leptin but not by vehicle
Li et al., Diabetes 1997
:
These data suggest that adiposity increases with age and can not be attributed to increased food intake, impaired leptin gene expression, or decreased UCP1 mRNA level in IBAT
