Liver X receptors are regulators of adipocyte gene expression but not differentiation

The liver X receptors α and β (LXRα and LXRβ) have been shown to play important roles in lipid homeostasis in liver and macrophages, however, their function in adipose tissue is not well defined. Both LXRs are highly expressed in fat, and the expression of LXRα increases during adipogenesis. Further...
