Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Transcriptional regulation through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is critical for an altered lipid metabolism during monocyte to macrophage differentiation. Here, we investigated how 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (AICAR), an activator of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK), affects PPARγ during monocyte differentiation. METHODS AND RESULTS: During the differentiation of THP-1...
