Báo cáo khoa học: Pronounced adipogenesis and increased insulin sensitivity caused by overproduction of prostaglandin D2 in vivo

Lipocalin-type prostaglandin (PG) D synthase is expressed in adipose tissues and involved in the regulation of glucose tolerance and atherosclero-sis in type 2 diabetes. However, the physiological roles of PGD2 in adipo-genesisin vivo are not clear, as lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase can also act as a transporter for lipophilic molecules, such as retinoids.
