Activation of Estrogen Receptor Alpha Induces Beiging of Adipocytes

ConclusionOur results demonstrate for the first time that selective-activation of ERα in adipocytes increases markers of beiging and this is likely through induction of AMPK and ATGL-mediated lipolysis providing FFAs as a fuel to activate UCP-1.
