Abstract:

As a worldwide chronic metabolic disease with increasing prevalence, obesity has a significant impact on health. It increases the morbidity and mortality of many chronic diseases, including pulmonary diseases such as asthma and pulmonary hypertension. By reviewing the mechanism of regulating metabolism via inducing the browning of white adipocytes and promoting the function of brown and beige adipocytes, the authors hope to provide a new intervention strategy against obesity and obesity-related diseases.

Key words: Obesity hypoventilation syndrome, Adipocytes,brown, Adipocytes,white
