Mitochondrial potassium channels regulate heat production in brown adipose tissue, paving path for new obesity therapies

A study conducted by researchers at the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) has shown that ATP-sensitive mitochondrial potassium channels (MitoKATP) are involved in both the development of brown fat cells and the activation of mitochondrial uncoupling in these cells, a process that dissipates energy in the form of heat.
