List or thermoregulatory or beige markers employed in this study and their function
| Thermoregulatory or Beige marker | Function |
|---|---|
| UCP1 (Uncoupling protein 1) | Uncouples respiration from energy production |
| CIDEA (Cell Death-Inducing DFFA-Like Effector A) | Modulates uncoupling action of UCP1 |
| Cox8b (Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit VIIIb) | Subunit of oxidase involved in respiratory electron transport |
| FGF21 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 21) | Modulates glucose, lipid, and energy homeostasis: induces beigeing in WAT |
| Car4 (Carbonic Anhydrase 4) | Acid–base balance (bicarbonate/CO2 equilibrium) |
| P2RX5 (Purinergic Receptor P2X, Ligand-Gated Ion Channel 5) | Purinergic Signaling |
| PAT-2 (Proton-Coupled Amino Acid Transporter-2) | Amino acid transport |
| CITED1 (Cbp/p300-Interacting Transactivator with Glu/Asp-rich Carboxy-Terminal Domain 1) | Transcriptional coactivator |
| CD137/Tnfrs9 (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily, Member 9) | Inflammatory reactions |
| TBX1 (T-Box 1) | Transcription factor (proliferation and differentiation of cells during organogenesis) |
| TMEM26 (Transmembrane Protein 26) | Unknown |
