Macrophage-specific PPARγ controls alternative activation and improves insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is shown that mice with macrophage-specific deletion of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) are required for maturation of alternatively activated macrophages, and gene expression profiling revealed that downregulation of oxidative phosphorylation gene expression in skeletal muscle and liver leads to decreased insulin sensitivity in these tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eosinophils Sustain Adipose Alternatively Activated Macrophages Associated with Glucose Homeostasis

TL;DR: It is shown that eosinophils are the major IL-4–expressing cells in white adipose tissues of mice, and, in their absence, AAMs are greatly attenuated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative (M2) activation of Kupffer cells by PPARδ ameliorates obesity-induced insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is shown that in response to the Th2 cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) directs expression of the alternative phenotype in Kupffer cells and adipose tissue macrophages of lean mice, suggesting an unexpected beneficial role for alternatively activated K upffer cells in metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
