Gene expression profiling identifies liver X receptor alpha as an estrogen-regulated gene in mouse adipose tissue
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Estrogens reduce adipose tissue mass in both humans and animals. The molecular mechanisms for this effect are, however, not well characterized. We took a gene expression profiling approach to study the direct effects of estrogen on mouse white adipose tissue (WAT). Female ovariectomized mice were treated for 10, 24 and 48 h with 17beta-estradiol or vehicle. RNA was extracted from gonadal fat and hybridized to...
