Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of adipogenesis in fibroblasts by PPAR gamma 2, a lipid-activated transcription factor.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the physiologic role of PPAR gamma 2 is to regulate development of the adipose lineage in response to endogenous lipid activators and that this factor may serve to link the process of adipocyte differentiation to systemic lipid metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
15-Deoxy-delta 12, 14-prostaglandin J2 is a ligand for the adipocyte determination factor PPAR gamma.

TL;DR: A pivotal role is suggested for PPARγ and its endogenous ligand in adipocyte development and glucose homeostasis and as a target for intervention in metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
mPPAR gamma 2: tissue-specific regulator of an adipocyte enhancer.
TL;DR: In this paper, an enhancer from the 5'-flanking region of the adipocyte P2 (aP2) gene that directs high-level adipocyte-specific gene expression in both cultured cells and transgenic mice was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidized LDL Regulates Macrophage Gene Expression through Ligand Activation of PPARγ
Laszlo Nagy,Laszlo Nagy,Peter Tontonoz,Peter Tontonoz,Jacqueline G.A Alvarez,Hongwu Chen,Ronald M. Evans,Ronald M. Evans +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the biologic effects of oxLDL are coordinated by two sets of receptors, one on the cell surface, which binds and internalizes the particle, and one in the nucleus, which is transcriptionally activated by its component lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fat and beyond: the diverse biology of PPARgamma.
TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the diverse biological actions of PPARgamma are reviewed with an eye toward the expanding therapeutic potential of PPargamma agonist drugs.
