Thermogenesis
Thermogenesis is the biological process of heat production in organisms, crucial for maintaining body temperature (thermoregulation) in warm-blooded animals, and also occurs in some plants for functions like seed dispersal or attracting pollinators, involving mechanisms like shivering, brown fat activation (non-shivering thermogenesis), and the metabolism of food (diet-induced thermogenesis), all controlled by the body’s metabolic rate and nervous system.
Beta-3 Adrenergic receptors
Beta-3 adrenergic receptors (β3-ARs) are G protein-coupled receptors primarily found in fat tissue (adipocytes) and the bladder, crucial for stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown for energy), thermogenesis (heat production in brown fat), and relaxing bladder muscles, making them key targets for drugs treating overactive bladder (like mirabegron) and potentially obesity or metabolic disorders.
