A dominant negative peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma knock-in mouse exhibits features of the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma), a member of the nuclear hormone receptor family, is a master regulator of adipogenesis. Humans with dominant negative PPARgamma mutations have features of the metabolic syndrome (severe insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension). We created a knock-in mouse model containing a potent dominant negative PPARgamma L466A mutation, shown previously...
