Abstract excerpt
The adipose tissue of genetically obese Zucker rats is characterized by coordinated tissue specific overtranscription of a subset of genes related to lipid storage such as Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH). We show that CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) is an activator of GAPDH proximal promoter in transiently transfected mature rat adipocytes. C/EBP alpha mRNA levels were...
