Differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, induced by methyl-isobutylxanthine (MIX), dexamethasone (DEX), and insulin, results in cells with the morphological and biochemical characteristics of adipocytes. Following incubation of 3T3-L1 cells with MIX, DEX, and insulin, poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase act
Differentiating 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (murine fatty fibroblasts) and human preadipocytes interact with human lipoprotein subfractions (HDL 2 and LDL II/III ) at all stages of the differentiation program, displaying saturable binding behavior. Both cell types interact similarly with LDL II/III as diff
Inhibition of insulin-induced 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation by rapamycin has been attributed to a blockade of the early critical clonal expansion phase of the adipogenic program. Rapamycin binds to, and inhibits, mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), leading to diminution of p70 S6 kinase acti
## Abstract The high incidence of obesityβrelated pathologies, led to the study of the mechanisms involved in preadipose cell proliferation and differentiation. Here, we demonstrate that modulation of erbB2, plays a fundamental role during proliferation and adipogenic induction of preadipocytes. Us
