Extensive studies on the adipokines secreted by WAT have shown the potential that they have on the browning of WAT to produce beige adipocytes that have functions liken to BAT with increased basal activity and energy expenditure. The discovery of AngII-AT2 interaction on WAT which drives the PI3k/Ak...
