Adipogenesis is the process by which mature fat cells are formed from pre‐adipocytes.
Adipogenesis has come under increasing scrutiny not only because the availability of …

Significant advances have been made recently toward understanding the molecular events
that regulate adipocyte differentiation. In vitromodels of adipogenesis, such as the 3T3-L1 …

Adipocyte differentiation is coordinatedly regulated by several transription factors. C/EBPβ,
C/EBPδ and ADD-1/SREBP-1 are active early during the differentiation process and induce …

Adipocytes are the main constituent of adipose tissue and are considered to be a corner
stone in the homeostatic control of whole body metabolism. Their primary function is to …

Gregoire, Francine M., Cynthia M. Smas, and Hei Sook Sul. Understanding Adipocyte
Differentiation. Physiol. Rev. 78: 783–809, 1998.—The adipocyte plays a critical role in …

Current evidence indcates that much of the regulation of adipocyte differentiation serves to
modulate a common adipogenic transcriptional control pathway, comprising members of the …

The differentiation of uncommitted cells into specialized adipocytes occurs through a
cascade of transcriptional events culminating in the induction and activation of the nuclear …

Adipogenesis is the developmental process by which a multipotent mesenchymal stem cell
differentiates into a mature adipocyte. This process involves a highly regulated and …

Excessive caloric intake without a rise in energy expenditure promotes adipocyte
hyperplasia and adiposity. The rise in adipocyte number is triggered by signaling factors that …

Adipocytes are the defining cell type of adipose tissue. Once considered a passive
participant in energy storage, adipose tissue is now recognized as a dynamic organ that …
