Article Synopsis
- There are three types of fat cells in dogs: white adipocytes store energy as fat, while brown/beige adipocytes help burn energy.
- The study examined the gene expression levels related to fat storage and function in 29 hospitalized dogs to understand obesity-related genes.
- Key findings include that body condition score was linked to a dog’s age rather than fat gene expression, and certain BMP receptor expressions were correlated, indicating complex relationships in fat cell development.
