Transplantation of brown adipose tissue inhibits atherosclerosis in apoE −/− mice: contribution of the activated FGF-21-adiponectin axis

ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate for the first time that anti-atherogenic action of BAT transplantation is BAT-specific and independent of lipid-lowering effect, accompanied by AR-mediated activation of the FGF-21-adiponectin axis.
