In the experiments in vivo, the ASP-knockout alleviated the obesity induced by a high fat diet (HFD) and increased the expressions of the browning-related proteins including uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), PRD1-BF-1-RIZ1 homologus domain-containing protein-16 (PRDM16) and PPAR gamma coactivator 1 (PGC1-α) and the endothelial cell marker (CD31). This evidence concerns the gene UCP1 and obesity disorder.
