2 Figure 1 UCP1 Deficiency and Thermoneutrality
UCP1 knockout mice maintained at room temperature (top panel in blue to represent a cold environment) activate UCP1-independent processes to maintain body temperature, an effect that obscures the role of UCP1 in bioenergetics. The same mice maintained at thermoneutrality (bottom panel in red to represent a warm environment) do not activate these processes and are susceptible to the development of obesity.
