Torpor in mice is induced by both leptin-dependent and -independent mechanisms

Gavrilova, Oksana, Leon, Lisa R., Marcus-Samuels, Bernice, Mason, Mark M., Castle, Arthur L., Refetoff, Samuel, ...

We tested the effect of chronic leptin treatment on fasting-induced torpor in leptin-deficient A-ZIP/F-1 and ob/ob mice. A-ZIP/F-1 mice have virtually no white adipose tissue and low leptin levels,...

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...
