Urocortin 3 overexpression reduces ER stress and heat shock response in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Abstract The neuropeptide urocortin 3 (UCN3) has a beneficial effect on metabolic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It has been reported that UCN3 regulates insulin secretion and is dysregulated with increasing severity of obesity and diabetes. However, its function i...
