Furthermore, the differentiation inhibited by the stretching was also restored by synthetic PPARγ ligand. Collectively, these results suggest that the inhibition of adipocyte differentiation in response to stretching is mainly attributable to the reduced expression of PPARγ2, which is mediated by activation of the ERK/MAPK system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
