The chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyrate inhibits adipogenesis by modulating the unfolded protein response[S]
Recent studies have shown a link between obesity and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Perturbations in ER homeostasis cause ER stress and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Adipocyte differentiation contributes to weight gain, and we have shown that markers of ER stress/UPR activat...
