AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Differentiation of adipogenic precursor cells into mature adipocytes is a complex process. Adipocyte differentiation is characterized by the expression of several adipocyte-specific genes, which occurs in an ordered fashion, and is orchestrated by a set of ...
The ob gene product, leptin, apparently exclusively expressed in adipose tissue, is a signaling factor regulating body weight homeostasis and energy balance. ob gene expression is increased in obese rodents and regulated by feeding, insulin, and glucocorti ...
The hypolipidemic fibrates and antidiabetic thiazolidinediones display potent triglyceride-lowering activities. Studies on the molecular action mechanisms of these compounds indicate that thiazolidinediones and fibrates exert their action by activating dis ...
Treatment with glucocorticoids increases the concentration of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which is inversely correlated to the development of atherosclerosis. Previously, we demonstrated that repeated administration of glucocorticoids increases ...
The long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACS) gene gives rise to three transcripts containing different first exons preceded by specific regulatory regions A, B, and C. Exon-specific oligonucleotide hybridization indicated that only A-ACS mRNA is express ...
We have isolated a cDNA corresponding to the hamster peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor haPPAR gamma, a member of the steroid nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors. haPPAR gamma mRNA is highly expressed in adipose tissue, an ...
PPARgamma is a member of the PPAR subfamily of nuclear receptors. In this work, the structure of the human PPARgamma cDNA and gene was determined, and its promoters and tissue-specific expression were functionally characterized. Similar to the mouse, two P ...
The molecular mechanism by which hypolipidemic fibrates and antidiabetic thiazolidinediones exert their hypotriglyceridemic action are discussed. Increased activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), a key lipolytic enzyme, and decreased levels of apolipoprotein ...
Differentiation of adipogenic precursor cells into mature adipocytes is a complex phenomenon, characterized by an ordered expression of adipocyte-specific genes, triggered by a set of interacting transcription factors. The most important transcription fact ...
Members of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family might be involved in pathologies with altered lipid metabolism. They participate in the control of the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. I ...
