AIM:To investigate the potential impact of mitoNEET[mitochondrial protein containing Asn-Glu-Glu-Thr(NEET)sequence]on mitochondrial metabolism in brown adipocytes,and to elucidate its underlying mecha-nism. METHODS:An in vitro model of primary mouse brown adipocytes was established. Western blot were utilized to detect relevant proteins,and iron ion and ATP content was measured using kits. Mitochondrial membrane potential and re-active oxygen species(ROS)were assessed by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. RESULTS:The expression of the ...
