SPATA4 improves aging‐induced metabolic dysfunction through promotion of preadipocyte differentiation and adipose tissue expansion
13 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Spermatogenesis-associated protein 4 (SPATA4) is conserved across multiple species. However, the function of this gene remains largely unknown. In this study, we generated Spata4 transgenic mice to explore tissue-specific function of SPATA4. Spata4 overexpression mice displayed increased subcutaneous fat tissue compared with wild-type littermates at an old age, while this difference was not observed in younger...
