Chawla and colleagues find that interleukin-33 is a critical controller of brown and beige adipocyte thermogenesis. Its primary impact is on the splicing of transcripts encoding uncoupling protein-1, resulting in uncoupled respiration and effective heat generation. Interleukin-33 acts perinatally to ensure adaptive thermogenesis lifelong.
