Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids inhibit basal and hormone-induced phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene transcription in adipocytes whereas beta-adrenergic agonists and fibrates are stimulatory. Here we show that dexamethasone inhibits the induction of PEPCK mRNA by isoprenaline or clofibrate in 3T3-F442A adipocytes. RU 38486 antagonizes dexamethasone effect, suggesting the involvement of the glucocorticoid receptor. In...
