The role of receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma (PPARg) in Adipogenesis, obesity and type 2 diabetes

The fat tissue is very dynamic , and as a result of hyperplasia , which is a consequence of the proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes may contribute to the development of obesity. This process is regulated by a complex number of specific genes. Among them, certainly deserves attention PPARg receptor whose expression is noted particularly strong in adipose tissue . It is a key factor in the adipogenesis process and is responsible for the differentiation of preadipocytes into mature cells called adipocytes . In addition , it regulates lipid metabolism in adipose tissue .
