Transient Overexpression of VEGF-A in Adipose Tissue Promotes Energy Expenditure via Activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System

Y. Zhao, X. Li, L. Yang, K. Eckel-Mahan, Q. Tong, X. Gu, M. G. Kolonin, K. Sun

This study shows that transient VEGF-A overexpression in adipose tissue activates the sympathetic nervous system, enhancing lipolysis, browning, and energy expenditure.
