medicine | humans acutely treated with specific beta3-adrenergic agonist mirabegron display elevated levels of 12-LOX metabolites in the circulation, and significantly higher levels of 12-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid and 14-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid are found in the media of brown adipocytes treated with the beta3-adrenergic agonist CL316,243 for 4 hours | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | cold and beta3-adrenergic stimulation can promote the biosynthesis and release of 12-LOX metabolites from brown adipose tissue. 12-LOX ablation in brown adipocytes impaires glucose uptake and metabolism, resulting in blunted adaptation to the cold in vivo. The cold-induced 12-LOX product 12-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid is a batokine that improves glucose metabolism by promoting glucose uptake into adipocytes and skeletal muscle through activation of an insulin-like intracellular signaling pathway | Mus musculus |
