Abstract excerpt
CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins, C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta, are required for fat cell differentiation and maturation. Previous studies showed that replacement of C/EBPalpha with C/EBPbeta, generating the beta/beta alleles in the mouse genome, prevents lipid accumulation in white adipose tissue (WAT). In this study, beta/beta mice lived longer and had higher energy expenditure than their control littermates due to...
