Abstract

Jun et al. show that adipocyte-autonomous CHRNA2 signaling mediates adaptive thermogenesis after cold exposure and metabolic homeostasis during high fat diet feeding. Upon activation after acute calorie excess, CHRNA2 signaling regulates both UCP1- and creatine-mediated pathways. CHRNA2-glycolytic beige adipocytes axis regulates a β-adrenergic-independent signaling pathway.
