Schematic diagram of the effects of MnSOD deletion in adipocytes. The free fatty acids (FFA) released after lipolysis are oxidized in the mitochondria through an inefficient process involving active UCP1. The inefficient FA oxidation is supported by ROS-mediated transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and UCP1 expression.
