aP2-Cre-mediated inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 causes growth retardation and reduced lipid accumulation in adipose tissues.

22 Sep 2009 Adipose tissue is one of the major sites for fatty acid synthesis and lipid storage. We generated adipose (fat)-specific ACC1 knockout (FACC1KO) mice using the aP2-Cre/loxP system. FACC1KO mice showed prenatal growth retardation; after weaning, ... Read more...

[Glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis in childhood: prophylaxis and treatment]

30 Mar 2009 Bone turnover rate during growth is extremely rapid. Bone growth is under the control of various hormonal environments. Long term administration of glucocorticoid in childhood induced not only osteoporosis but also growth failure via direct action ... Read more...

A truncation in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor of the CRL:WI(Han) rat does not affect the developmental toxicity of TCDD.

2 Dec 2008 The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is required for the toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), and so the AhR of CRL:WI and CRL:WI(Han) rats was characterized. Western blot showed AhR proteins of approximately 110 and approximately ... Read more...
