Dietary Sea Buckthorn Pomace Induces Beige Adipocyte Formation in Inguinal White Adipose Tissue in Lambs

摘要

Simple SummaryHeat production is important for the survival of young animals, especially for those born in a cold winter. During this process, both brown and beige adipose tissues play an important role. Sea buckthorn is a natural source of bioactive compounds and has multiple health benefits. The aim of this study was to determine whether dietary sea buckthorn pomace supplementation could affect beige cell formation in lambs. Here, we found that dietary sea buckthorn pomace could promote beige adipocyte formation, increase mitochondrial numbers, and improve insulin sensitivity in inguinal white adipose tissue. These results will be useful for increasing heat production through modulation of beige cell formation in young lambs.
