Bridging the obesity gap : a role for connexin and pannexin signalling in adipogenesis
Obesity is currently a worldwide health problem associated with conditions such as type 2 diabetes. It has been reported that connexins may be involved in adipogenesis but the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Adipose tissue from male Zucker fatty rats (falfa), male lean rats (fa-I-) and 3T3-...

| Summary: | Obesity is currently a worldwide health problem associated with conditions such as type 2 diabetes. It has been reported that connexins may be involved in adipogenesis but the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Adipose tissue from male Zucker fatty rats (falfa), male lean rats (fa-I-) and 3T3-Ll cells were investigated for connexin (Cx) and pannexin expression profiles, Cx localization and function and lipid accumulation during the differentiation programme. |
