Silicon dioxide nanoparticles inhibit the effects of cold exposure on metabolism and inflammatory responses in brown adipocytes

Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) in haze are potentially hazardous to health, which is more severe in the winter. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays important roles in obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Though the toxicology of NPs has been intensively studied, few studies have been reported on the antagonistic effects between Silicon dioxide(SiO2) NPs and cold exposure in brown adipocytes.
