Non-monotonic dose-response of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate isolated from Penicillium citrinum XT6 on adipogenesis and expression of PPARγ and GLUT4 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes
Abstract:Objectives
Adipogenesis is the fat cell formation process regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARγ). The insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) has a major role in glucose uptake and metabolism in insulin target tissues (i.e., adipose and muscle cells). The interplay between PPARγ and GLUT4 is essential for proper glucose homeostasis. This study aimed to isolate, elucidate, and investigate the effect of an isolated compound from Penicillium citrinum XT6 on adi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
