  • IL-6 signaling through STAT3 controls accelerated loss of white adipose tissue, as shown by inhibition of white adipose tissue lipolysis in mice treated with anti-IL-6R antibody.

    “IL-6 signaling through STAT3 has been shown to control this process, as evidenced by inhibition of white adipose tissue lipolysis in mice treated with anti–IL-6R antibody”

    From Targeting Janus Kinases and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 To Treat Inflammation, Fibrosis, and Cancer: Rationale, Progress, and Caution (2020) · cites this paper as Babaei et al., 2018

    The section on transient IL-6 family activation reports that lipolytic stimulation raises IL-6 and IL-11, activating Jak/Stat3 in adipocyte progenitors. The Discussion says Stat3 activation depended on lipolysis in this model, rather than showing that IL-6–STAT3 signaling controlled white adipose tissue loss. Our copy does not report inhibition of lipolysis in mice treated with anti–IL-6R antibody. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
