Interindividual variation of white adipose tissue (WAT) expression of mesoderm specific
transcript (Mest), a paternally-expressed imprinted gene belonging to the α/β-hydrolase fold …

Mesoderm specific transcript (Mest), an imprinted gene associated with fat mass expansion
under conditions of positive energy balance, shows highly variable expression (~ 80-fold) in …

Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that many downstream pathologies of
obesity are amplified or even initiated by molecular changes within the white adipose tissue …

Objective Differences in white adipose tissue (WAT) expression of mesoderm‐specific
transcript (Mest) in C57BL6/J mice fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) are concomitant with and …

Heterogeneity of obesity within a population of inbred mice fed an obesogenic high‐fat diet
(HFD) is associated with changes of gene expression in white adipose tissue (WAT). One …

Objective The mesoderm-specific transcript (Mest) is an imprinted gene that is transcribed
from the paternal allele. It is a marker of adipose tissue expansion; however, it is uncertain …

Obesity is a common and serious metabolic disorder in the developed world that is
occasionally accompanied by type II diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and …

A 50-fold variation in mRNA and protein levels of the mesoderm-specific transcript gene
(Mest) in white fat of C57BL/6J (B6) mice fed an obesogenic diet is positively correlated with …

Mesoderm-specific transcript (Mest) is a distinct gene associated with adipocyte
differentiation and proliferation. The mechanisms regulating expression of the Mest gene are …

Food components with anti-obesity properties are commonly evaluated using mouse models
of diet-induced obesity. The ability of these components to reduce or prevent white adipose …
