Journal ArticleDOI
Red yeast rice extracts suppress adipogenesis by down-regulating adipogenic transcription factors and gene expression in 3T3-L1 cells
Taeil Jeon,Seong Gu Hwang,Shizuka Hirai,Tohru Matsui,Hideo Yano,Teruo Kawada,Beoung Ou Lim,Dong Ki Park +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the inhibitory effect of RE on adipocyte differentiation might be mediated through the down-regulated expression of adipogenic transcription factors and other specific genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction between vitamin A and thiazolidinedione on bovine adipocyte differentiation in primary culture
TL;DR: Results showed that the thiazolidinedione stimulated adipocyte differentiation and the retinoids blocked the adipogenesis induced by theThiazolidineione in primary culture of bovine SV cells, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma may play an important role in adipocytes differentiation, and retinoid may interfere with the action of PPARgamma in cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myostatin inhibits differentiation of bovine preadipocyte.
TL;DR: The results suggest that myostatin inhibits bovine preadiopocyte differentiation through suppressing PPARgamma and C/EBPalpha mRNA expressions and that follistatin counteracts the suppressive effect of mystatin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of Beige-Like Adipocytes in 3T3-L1 Cells
Hiroki Asano,Yohei Kanamori,Satoshi Higurashi,Takayuki Y. Nara,Ken Kato,Tohru Matsui,Masayuki Funaba +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the factors responsible for the differentiation of 3T3-L1 white preadipocytes to beige adipocytes and found that the gene expression profile of the beige-selective genes in the adipocytes induced by the mixture of T3, IBMX and Rosi did not differ from those in the control cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activin A inhibits differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte.
TL;DR: The results indicate that activin A inhibits adipogenesis via affecting the transcriptional factor cascade upstream of PPARgamma expression.
