Despite these previous findings in about the negative effect of CLP on WAT, increasing expression of proinflammatory cytokines but decreasing adiponectin (Tsujimura et al., 2011; Kutsukake et al., 2014), to our knowledge, the acute effects of sepsis on metabolic-related pathways in WAT and BAT have not been investigated. The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is Sepsis.
