Front cover: Cyanidin ‐3‐glucoside increases whole body energy metabolism by upregulating brown adipose tissue mitochondrial function

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2017, 61, 1700261. DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201700261 Obesity develops when the energy intake exceeds the energy expenditure. Promoting brown adipose tissue (BAT) formation and function increases energy expenditure and may protect against obesity. Cyanidin‐3‐glucoside (C3G) is an anthocyanin compound which occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables. Results of the present work show that C3G increases the whole body energy metabolism to ameliorate db/db mice obesity by upregulating BAT thermogenesis.
