Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is an adipokine involved in the regulation of cell differentiation and lipid metabolism, but its specific role has not been clearly understood. We validated a hypothesis that loss of TNFα function would inhibit Wnt/β-catenin signaling and accelerate adipogenesis in adolescent genetic obese mice. Epididymal white adipose tissues (eWAT) from TNFα deficient (TNFα(-/-)), leptin...
