Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that activates or represses its target genes after various genotoxic stresses. We have previously shown that sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), a key transcriptional regulator of triglyceride synthesis, and the lipogenic enzymes under its control are markedly suppressed in adipocytes from genetically obese ob/ob mice. Here we demonstrate that...
