Leptin Deficiency Unmasks the Deleterious Effects of Impaired Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor γ Function (P465L PPARγ) in Mice
26 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma is a key transcription factor facilitating fat deposition in adipose tissue through its proadipogenic and lipogenic actions. Human patients with dominant-negative mutations in PPARgamma display lipodystrophy and extreme insulin resistance. For this reason it was completely unexpected that mice harboring an equivalent mutation (P465L) in PPARgamma developed...
