Abstract
Expression of the uncoupling protein Ucp in skeletal muscle prevents diet-i nduced obesity and insulin resistance. Similar effects are seen in response to increased physical exercise, indicating that pharmacological strategies designed to manipulate energy expenditure can be used to treat obesity and diabetes.
