Abstract excerpt
Due to the epidemic rise of obesity prevalence, adipose tissue (AT) research is of major interest. Our aim was to study specificity of the most-common Cre/loxP approach for inducible gene manipulation of AT in mice (AdipoqCre-ERT2). We used mice with tamoxifen-sensitive Cre recombinase controlled by the adiponectin promoter (AdipoqCre-ERT2), which were crossed to a tdTomato reporter mouse to visualize the site of...
