Abstract excerpt
Fatty acids and thiazolidinediones act as potent activators of the adipose differentiation program in established preadipose cell lines. In this report, the effects of these agents on the differentiation pathway of myoblasts have been investigated. Exposure of C2C12N myoblasts (a subclone of the C2C12 cell line) to thiazolidinediones or fatty acids prevents the expression of myogenin, alpha-actin, and creatine...
