Uncoupling Proteins

Read on a dieting info site that omega3s are useful in that they work with so-called
'uncoupling proteins'. The latter are membrane proteins that divert the energy produced by the cell to thermogenesis, rather than going into the ATP cycle. In hibernation, for instance. This effect
is heightened by the action of hormones such as adrenaline...Inneresting!
