SIRT7 suppresses energy expenditure and thermogenesis by regulating brown adipose tissue functions in mice

Sirtuins have been reported to positively regulate brown adipose tissue thermogenesis. Here the authors report that brown adipocytic SIRT7 suppresses whole-body energy expenditure and thermogenesis in mice, potentially by attenuating batokine gene expressions and Ucp1 mRNA translation.
