Regulation of human brown/beige adipocyte lipolysis and thermogenesis

In this episode, Cheryl Cero explains that β3-ARs in human brown/beige adipocytes are required to maintain multiple components of lipolytic and thermogenic cellular machinery and β3-AR agonists could be used to achieve metabolic benefit in humans.
