UCP1 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency: A recent study by KJ Kim revealed that ellagic acid supplementation in mice elevated (carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1) CPT1, UCP1, and PGC1α protein levels in a dose-dependent manner—1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 4 mg/kg, respectively, suggesting that ellagic acid’s anti-obesity potential stems from its energy-boosting properties (67).
