1 20723549 Relative mRNA expression levels for lipid synthesis and transport including diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1/2), fatty acid translocase (CD36/FAT), fatty acid transport protein (FATP) were increased in pioglitazone-treated group compared to rosiglitazone-treated mice, but mRNA expression levels of ?-oxidation-related genes acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase, very long chain (Acadvl), acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase, medium chain (Acadm), and the energy expenditure-related genes triosephosphate isomerase 1 (Tpi1) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1b (Cpt1b) were decreased. these results suggest that pioglitazone activates lipid deposition by increasing lipid synthesis and transport, but rosiglitazone stimulates ?-oxidation and energy expenditure in adipocytes of db/db mice.
2 20444420 The increased insulin sensitivity in the VLCAD(-/-) mice were protected from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance due to chronic activation of AMPK and PPARalpha, resulting in increased fatty acid oxidation and decreased intramyocellular and hepatocellular diacylglycerol content.
