The renin-angiotensin system is a key regulator of metabolism with beneficial effects of the angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) peptide. We hypothesized that the antiobesity effect of Ang 1-7 was related to the stimulation of brown adipose tissue (BAT). We administered Ang 1-7 (0.54 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) for 28 days via implanted micro-osmotic pumps to mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. Ang 1-7 treatment reduced body weight, upregulated thermogenesis, and ameliorated impaired glucose homeostasis without affecting food consumption. Furthermore, Ang 1-7 treatment enlarged BAT and the increased expression of UCP1, PRDM16, and prohibitin. Alterations in PRDM16 expression correlated with increased AMPK and phosphorylation of mTOR. Ang 1-7 treatment elevated thermogenesis in subcutaneous white adipose tissue without altering UCP1 expression. These changes occurred in the context of decreased lipid accumulation in BAT from HFD-fed mice, preserved insulin signaling concomitant with phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase and decreased expression of perilipin. These data suggest that Ang 1-7 induces brown adipocyte differentiation leading to upregulation of thermogenesis and improved metabolic profile in diet-induced obesity. Enhancing Ang 1-7 action represents a promising therapy to increase BAT and to reduce the metabolic complications associated with diet-induced obesity.
