Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of PPARγ coactivator-1 through transcription factor docking

TL;DR: PGC-1 promotes transcription through the assembly of a complex that includes the histone acetyltransferases steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and CREB binding protein (CBP)/p300, resulting in a large increase in transcriptional activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

ADD1: a novel helix-loop-helix transcription factor associated with adipocyte determination and differentiation.

TL;DR: The screening of an adipocyte cDNA expression library suggests that ADD1 plays a role in the regulation of determination- and differentiation-specific gene expression in adipocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common DNA binding site for Fos protein complexesand transcription factor AP-1

TL;DR: It is shown that there is a dramatic increase in the FSE2 binding complex when Fos levels are induced with serum, benzodiazepine, and nerve growth factor or are expressed from a v-fos gene, suggesting a functional relationship between Fos and AP-1.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Creatine-Driven Substrate Cycle Enhances Energy Expenditure and Thermogenesis in Beige Fat

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that creatine enhances respiration in beige-fat mitochondria when ADP is limiting and decreases whole-body energy expenditure after administration of a β3-agonist and reduces beige and brown adipose metabolic rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein gene from the aP2 gene promoter prevents genetic obesity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that UCP synthesized from the aP2 gene promoter is thermogenically active and capable of reducing fat stores.
