Obese Gene Expression Alters the Ability of 30A5 Preadipocytes to Respond to Lipogenic Hormones
1 Jun 1996
Abstract excerpt
Leptin, the product of the ob gene, controls food-intake and weight loss in the ob mouse. Although the target(s) of the circulating leptin is presumed to be the brain which then orchestrates food-intake and weight loss, how leptin functions in the process of weight loss is unknown. In this report, we present evidence that ob gene expression in cultured cells suppresses acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene expression and...
