The retinoic acid receptor-related orphan nuclear receptor γ1 (RORγ1): a novel player determinant of insulin sensitivity in morbid obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

The orphan nuclear receptors (ONRs), retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γ-1 (RORγ1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ-2 (PPARγ2), are central mediators controlling adipocyte (AD) differentiation. Through their distinct tissue distribution and specific target gene

Adiponectin, Retinoic Acid Receptor Responder 2, and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ Coativator-1 Genes and the Risk for Obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder. This disease is a multifactorial disease influenced by environmental and genetic factors. This study investigated the relationship between common variants of adiponectin (ADIPOQ), retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2), and peroxisome

The one-two punch: Retinoic acid suppresses obesity both by promoting energy expenditure and by inhibiting adipogenesis.

The vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA) regulates gene transcription by activating the nuclear receptors RAR and PPARβ/δ and their cognate lipid binding proteins CRABP-II, which delivers RA to RAR, and FABP5, which shuttles the hormone to PPARβ/δ. In preadipocytes, RA signals predominantly

All-trans retinoic acid stimulates gene expression of the cardioprotective natriuretic peptide system and prevents fibrosis and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes of obese ob/ob mice.

In hypertensive rodents, retinoic acid (RA) prevents adverse cardiac remodelling and improves myocardial infarction outcome, but its role in obesity-related changes of cardiac tissue are unclear. We hypothesized that all-trans RA (ATRA) treatment will improve the cardioprotective

Exposure to an obesity-inducing diet early affects the pattern of expression of peroxisome proliferator, retinoic acid, and triiodothyronine nuclear receptors in the rat.

Since evidence has appeared that alpha and gamma isoforms of the peroxisome proliferator receptors (PPARs) are involved in the regulation of triglyceride homeostasis and in the control of the differentiation of adipocytes that is required for the development of obesity, a large number of studies

Retinoic acid activation of peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor delta represses obesity and insulin resistance.

Only registered users can translate articles

Retinoic acid (RA) was found to be a ligand for peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) as well as the classical RA receptor (RAR). Carrier proteins that move the RA from the cytosol into the nucleus are the fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5), activating PPARdelta, and the

All-trans-retinoic acid represses obesity and insulin resistance by activating both peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor beta/delta and retinoic acid receptor.

Only registered users can translate articles

Many biological activities of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) are mediated by the ligand-activated transcription factors termed retinoic acid receptors (RARs), but this hormone can also activate the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor beta/delta (PPARbeta/delta). We show here

Cellular retinoic acid binding protein 1 protects mice from high-fat diet-induced obesity by decreasing adipocyte hypertrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity, an emerging global health issue, involves numerous factors; understanding its underlying mechanisms for prevention and therapeutics is urgently needed. Cellular retinoic acid binding protein 1 (Crabp1) knockout (CKO) mice exhibit an obese phenotype under normal diet (ND)

Relationship between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and retinoic acid receptor alpha gene expression in obese human adipose tissue.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To investigate in human adipose tissue a possible relationship between per oxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha) gene expression, two genes involved in the control of adipocyte differentiation. METHODS Ten lean control women

Retinol, Retinoic Acid, and Retinol-Binding Protein 4 are Differentially Associated with Cardiovascular Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and Obesity: An Overview of Human Studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble essential nutrient obtained from plant- and animal-based sources that has roles in growth, vision, and metabolism. Vitamin A circulates mainly as retinol bound to retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), and is delivered to tissues and converted to retinoic acid, which is a

Retinoic acid upregulates preadipocyte genes to block adipogenesis and suppress diet-induced obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Retinoic acid (RA) protects mice from diet-induced obesity. The activity is mediated in part through activation of the nuclear receptors RA receptors (RARs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ and their associated binding proteins cellular RA binding protein type II (CRABP-II) and

Alterations in vitamin A/retinoic acid homeostasis in diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient for life and the phytochemical β-carotene, also known as pro-vitamin A, is an important dietary source of this vitamin. Vitamin A (retinol) is the parent compound of all bioactive retinoids but it is retinoic acid (RA) that is the active metabolite of vitamin

Role for Retinoic Acid-Related Orphan Receptor Alpha (RORα) Expressing Macrophages in Diet-Induced Obesity

Only registered users can translate articles

The transcription factor RORα plays an important role in regulating circadian rhythm, inflammation, metabolism, and cellular development. Herein we show a role for RORα-expressing macrophages in the adipose tissue in altering the metabolic state of mice on a high-fat diet. The expression of

RARγ-C-Fos-PPARγ2 signaling rather than ROS generation is critical for all-trans retinoic acid-inhibited adipocyte differentiation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity has become a worldwide public health problem, which is mainly determined by excess energy intake and adipose tissue expansion. Adipose tissue expansion can occur through hyperplasia (adipocyte differentiation) or hypertrophy. Retinoic acid was shown to inhibit adipocyte differentiation.
