Abstract

This article discusses the crucial role of the gamma2 isoform of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma, a member of the nuclear hormone receptors family, in regulating adipogenesis. A rational intervention calls for understanding the adipocyte genes, development, and function with gamma2 receptor serving as a target in adipogenesis.
