FAM13A and POM121C are candidate genes for fasting insulin: functional follow-up analysis of a genome-wide association study [PDF]
, 2018 Aims/hypothesis: By genome-wide association meta-analysis, 17 genetic loci associated with fasting serum insulin (FSI), a marker of systemic insulin resistance, have been identified. To define potential culprit genes in these loci, in a cross-sectional

JAZF1 heterozygous knockout mice show altered adipose development and metabolism
Cell & Bioscience, 2021 Background Juxtaposed with another zinc finger protein 1 (JAZF1) is associated with metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Several studies showed that JAZF1 and body fat mass are closely related.

Role of arginase 2 in systemic metabolic activity and adipose tissue fatty acid metabolism in diet-induced obese mice [PDF]
, 2019 Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) inflammation and metabolic dysregulation are key components of obesity-induced metabolic disease. Upregulated arginase, a ureahydrolase enzyme with two isoforms (A1-cytosolic and A2-mitochondrial), is implicated in ...

Inhibition of adipocyte differentiation by RORα [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2009 Here we show that gene expression of the nuclear receptor RORα is induced during adipogenesis, with RORα4 being the most abundantly expressed isoform in human and murine adipose tissue. Over‐expression of RORα4 in 3T3‐L1 cells impairs adipogenesis as shown by the decreased expression of adipogenic markers and lipid accumulation, accompanied by ...
