## Abstract Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) has been shown to promote adult myoblast proliferation and differentiation and affect Akt phosphorylation via its effector Smoothened (Smo). Here, the relationship between Shh and insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐I) was examined with regard to myogenic differentiat

## Abstract Optimal stimulation of signal transduction and biological functions by IGF‐I in porcine smooth muscle cells (pSMC) requires ligand occupancy of the αVβ3 integrin. Binding of heparin‐binding domain (HBD) of vitronectin (VN) to the cysteine loop (C‐loop) region of β3 is required for pSMC
## Abstract We previously reported that PEGylated conjugated linoleic acid (PCLA) as a pro‐drug treatment of cultures of 3T3‐L1 cells containing differentiated adipocytes caused de‐differentiation by downregulation of PPARγ2‐induced adipogenesis, and cell apoptosis induced by PCLA was lower than th
