Abstract

Significance: Obesity, due to increased adipose (fat) tissue, predisposes to metabolic diseases, including diabetes. Thus, it is important to understand adipose development and function. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is widely believed to be the master regulator of adipocyte biology. Surprisingly, however, previous studies attempting to delete the PPARγ gene specifically in mouse adipose tissue did not demonstrate a dramatic phenotype. By using newer methods, the present study reports that fat-specific loss of PPARγ causes dramatic loss of adipose tissue, severe insulin resistance and diabetes, fatty liver, and abnormalities of bone, skin, and mammary glands, all of which contain adipose tissue. We show that adipocyte PPARγ is required for normal fat development and metabolic function in vivo.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
