Front Cover: Yellow Tea Stimulates Thermogenesis in Mice through Heterogeneous Browning of Adipose Tissues

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2021,65,2000864DOI:10.1002/mnfr.202000864The yellow tea extract (YTE) enhances adaptive thermogenesis and protects mice from high fat diet induced obesity by modulating adipocyte metabolic conversion. In epididymal adipose tissue, YTE prevents white adipocytes hypertrophy and improves mitochondrial biogenesis. In brown adipose tissue, YTE prevents whitening and induces numerous brown ‐like adipocytes. In subcutaneous adipose tissue, YTE prevents white adipocytes hypertrophy and stimuli beige adipocytes. This is reported by Na Xu, Jun Chu, Rongrong Dong, Fengjuan Lu, Xinfeng Zhang, Min Wang, Ying Shen, Zhongwen Xie, Chi‐Tang Ho, Chung S. Yang, Yijun Wang, Xiaochun Wan in arti cle2000864.
