Short-term heat exposure affects thermogenesis and mitophagy in goat brown adipocytes.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBrown adipose tissue (BAT) has a significant impact in newborn goats on maintaining body temperature through non-shivering thermogenesis in response to cold exposure. However, the roles of heat treatment on BAT thermogenesis are still limited.
resultsThis study focused on the effects of short-term heat exposure on goat brown adipocytes. We found that the content of mitochondria and the proteins of UCP1 and PGC1α were increased after 12 h of heat exposure. Additionally, the triglyceride (TG) content was significantly decreased after 1, 2, 6 h of heat exposure. Furthermore, RNA-seq analysis of brown adipocytes after 12 h of heat exposure identified 1091 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The KEGG enrichment analysis were mainly enriched in thermogenesis, fatty acid metabolism and mitophagy. In addition, we found that the amount of mitophagosomes and expression levels of mitophagy-related protein (LC3BII/LC3BI, BNIP3, and BECN) were elevated after 12 h of heat treatment.
conclusionThese findings collectively indicate that heat exposure enhances the thermogenic capacity and mitophagy level of goat brown adipocytes. Our study provides evidence that heat exposure facilitates adaptive thermogenesis in goat brown adipocytes.
