Mouse models of PPAR-γ deficiency: dissecting PPAR-γ's role in metabolic homoeostasis
26 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
The identification of humans with mutations in PPAR-gamma (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) has underlined its importance in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome. Genetically modified mice provide powerful tools to dissect the mechanisms by which PPAR-gamma regulates metabolic processes. Ablation of PPAR-gamma in vivo is lethal and thus dissection of PPAR-gamma function using mouse models...
