The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) promotes adipocyte differentiation, exerts atherogenic and anti-inflammatory effects in monocyte/macrophages, and is believed to mediate the insulin-sensitizing action of antidiabetic thiazolidinedione ligands. As no complete PPARgamma antagonists have been described hitherto, we have constructed a dominant-negative mutant receptor...
