Context
Our research group is working on circadian rythms and biological clock, especially on their regulations at the molecular level. In the field, Louse Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP-1) is a mito transmembrane channel protein involved in thermogenesis and only found in brown adipose tissue. This study compares UCP-1 quantity between control mice (that at room temperature during experiment) and mice that are exposed to cold (4°C) during a couple of hours.
