Abstract
Adipocyte differentiation is regulated by at least two major transcription factors, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). Expression of PPARgamma in fibroblasts converts them to fat-laden cells with an adipocyte-like morph …
