Toxicogenomics in the 3T3-L1 Cell Line, a New Approach for Screening of Obesogenic Compounds

Abstract excerpt

The obesogen hypothesis states that together with an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended, exposure to environmental compounds early in life or throughout lifetime might have an influence on obesity development. In this work, we propose a new approach for obesogen screening, i.e., the use of transcriptomics in the 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte cell line. Based on the data from a previous study...
