Life without white fat: a transgenic mouse

Moitra, Jaideep, Mason, Mark M., Olive, Michelle, Krylov, Dmitry, Gavrilova, Oksana, Marcus-Samuels, Bernice, ...

We have generated a transgenic mouse with no white fat tissue throughout life. These mice express a dominant-negative protein, termed A-ZIP/F, under the control of the adipose-specific aP2...

Adipose tissue is required for the antidiabetic, but not for the hypolipidemic, effect of thiazolidinediones

Chao, Lily, Marcus-Samuels, Bernice, Mason, Mark M., Moitra, Jaideep, Vinson, Charles, Arioglu, Elif, ...

There is uncertainty about the site(s) of action of the antidiabetic thiazolidinediones (TZDs). These drugs are agonist ligands of the transcription factor PPARγ, which is abundant in adipose tissue...

Novel Polymorphisms in the Myosin Light Chain Kinase Gene Confer Risk for Acute Lung Injury

Gao, Li, Grant, Audrey, Halder, Indrani, Brower, Roy, Sevransky, Jonathan, Maloney, James P., ...

The genetic basis of acute lung injury (ALI) is poorly understood. The myosin light chain kinase (MYLK) gene encodes the nonmuscle myosin light chain kinase isoform, a multifunctional protein...

Essential Role of Pre–B-Cell Colony Enhancing Factor in Ventilator-induced Lung Injury

Hong, Sang-Bum, Huang, Yong, Moreno-Vinasco, Liliana, Sammani, Saad, Moitra, Jaideep, Barnard, Joseph W., ...

Rationale: We previously demonstrated pre–B-cell colony enhancing factor (PBEF) as a biomarker in sepsis and sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) with genetic variants conferring ALI...
