Despite the advent of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging and tractography algorithms, the accurate mapping of complex fiber kiss-crossings areas of the brain remains out of reach. In this study, we present a statistical DSI-based tractography algorithm w ...
In C. elegans, similar to in mammals, mutations in the tubby homolog, tub-1, promote increased fat deposition. Here, we show that mutation in tub-1 also leads to life span extension dependent on daf-16/FOXO. Interestingly, function of tub-1 in fat storage ...
In a systematic search for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) target genes, we identified S3-12 and perilipin as novel direct PPAR-gamma target genes. Together with adipophilin and tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa, these genes ...
Considerable controversy exists in determining the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) in obesity. Two purebred congenic strains of PPARalpha-null mice were developed to study the role of this receptor in modulating lipid t ...
We have explored the effects of two members of the p160 coregulator family on energy homeostasis. TIF2-/- mice are protected against obesity and display enhanced adaptive thermogenesis, whereas SRC-1-/- mice are prone to obesity due to reduced energy expen ...
The white adipocyte is at the center of dysfunctional regulatory pathways in various pathophysiological processes, including obesity, diabetes, inflammation, and cancer. Here, we show that the oncogenic steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3) is a critical ...
Fatty acid transporter protein (FATP)-1 mRNA expression was investigated in skeletal muscle and in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue of 17 healthy lean, 13 nondiabetic obese, and 16 obese type 2 diabetic subjects. In muscle, FATP-1 mRNA levels were hig ...
L1 and NCAM, two cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily, have been implicated in the formation of neural circuits, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive function. In this study, we sought to investigate whether differences in the steady-sta ...
We use DT-MRI and statistical fibre tracking in order to quantify the left-right asymmetry of connectivity between the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus (Wernicke) and the homolateral pars opercularis of the frontal inferior gyrus (Broca) in 12 ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) is a nuclear receptor, which controls adipocyte differentiation. We targeted with homologous recombination the PPAR gamma 2-specific exon B, resulting in a white adipose tissue knockdown of PPAR ...
