Journal ArticleDOI

PPARγ Is Required for the Differentiation of Adipose Tissue In Vivo and In Vitro

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that mice chimeric for wild-type and PPARγ null cells show little or no contribution of null cells to adipose tissue, whereas most other organs examined do not require PParγ for proper development.
Journal ArticleDOI

A major role for VCAM-1, but not ICAM-1, in early atherosclerosis

TL;DR: The data indicate that VCAM-1 plays a dominant role in the initiation of atherosclerosis in mice generated from heterozygous intercrosses and fed a cholesterol-enriched diet for 8 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of PPAR-γ in macrophage differentiation and cholesterol uptake

TL;DR: In wild-type macrophages, TZD treatment divergently regulated CD36 and class A macrophage-scavenger receptor expression and failed to induce significant cellular cholesterol accumulation, indicating that TZDs may not exacerbate Macrophage foam-cell formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiomyocyte-Specific Knockout and Agonist of Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ Both Induce Cardiac Hypertrophy in Mice

TL;DR: It is shown that cardiomyocyte PPAR-γ suppresses cardiac growth and embryonic gene expression and inhibits nuclear factor &kgr;B activity in vivo and rosiglitazone causes cardiac hypertrophy at least partially independent of PPar-γ inCardiomyocytes and through different mechanisms from CM-PGKO.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypotension, lipodystrophy, and insulin resistance in generalized PPARγ-deficient mice rescued from embryonic lethality

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PPargamma is required to maintain normal adiposity and insulin sensitivity in adult mice and genetic loss of PPARgamma function, like activation by agonists, lowered blood pressure, likely through a mechanism involving increased vascular relaxation.
