Worm Image
Adult C. elegans nematodes (roundworms) subjected to UCP knockout or UCP RNA-inactivation are obese compared to normal worms (wild type). Live worms were fed nile red, a dye that labels fat in adipocytes and imaged by confocal microscopy. There is significantly increased nile red fluorescence in UCP deficient worms, suggesting that UCP may play a role in the regulation of body fat.
