Transforming Growth Factor-β3 Regulates Adipocyte Number in Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue
1 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
White adipose tissue (WAT) mass is determined by adipocyte size and number. While adipocytes are continuously turned over, the mechanisms controlling fat cell number in WAT upon weight changes are unclear. Herein, prospective studies of human subcutaneous WAT demonstrate that weight gain increases both adipocyte size and number, but the latter remains unaltered after weight loss. Transcriptome analyses associate...
