Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) is critical for phenotype determination at early differentiation stages of mesenchymal cells. Activation of this nuclear receptor inhibits gene expression in part by antagonizing the activities of several transcription factors. In this study we examined inhibitory mechanisms of osteoblast differentiation markers by activating PPAR-gamma. Our data...
