Zusammenfassung
Background: Adipose tissue, consisting of white and brown adipocytes, comprises an important endocrine regulator, secreting hormones specified as adipokines. While recent studies demonstrated that adipose tissue responds to hypoxia, the different roles of regulation in brown and white adipocytes are still unclear. In this study the effect of hypoxia on murine brown and white adipocyte cell lines was analyzed. Methods: In cultured adipocytes hypoxia was induced chemically with desferoxamine and cobaldchlorid or physically in an atmosphere of 1% oxygen. Vitality and differentiation was tested by oil-red-staining.…
