Studies from the past several years have revealed that adipogenesis is controlled by an
interplay of transcription factors, including members of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein …

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 …

The adipose cell is now known to play a complex role in energy homeostasis, energy
storage and signaling to other tissues concerning the state of energy balance. The past few …

Recent advances regarding the biology of adipose tissue have identified the adipocyte as
an important mediator in many physiologic and pathologic processes regarding energy …

▪ Abstract The major transcriptional factors involved in the adipogenic process include
proteins belonging to the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein family, peroxisome proliferator …

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

Differentiation of adipogenic precursor cells into mature adipocytes is a complex
phenomenon, characterized by an ordered expression of adipocyte-specific genes …

The formation of adipocytes during embryogenesis has been largely understudied.
However, preadipocytes appear to originate from multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem …

Normal metabolic balance is maintained by a complex homeostatic system involving
multiple tissues and organs. Acquired or inherited defects in any part of this system can lead …

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 …
