Abstract:Corticosterone — product of 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I (11βHSD1) stimulates adipocytes differentiation and activates lipogenic enzymes gene expression in white adipose tissue (WAT) of rats. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of chronic food restriction, often practised by obese individuals trying to lose body mass, on: a) 11βHSD1 gene expression, b) expression of genes associated with adipocyte differentiation (PPARg, SREBP-1, adiponectin), and c) expression of genes associated with l… Show more
