Glucocorticoid-transforming growth factor-beta crosstalk contributes to the low adipogenic capacity of human visceral adipose stem cells

Visceral adipose tissue (AT) mass increases risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Glucocorticoids (GCs) cause preferential expansion of visceral compared to subcutaneous AT through poorly understood mechanisms. GCs are necessary for adipogenesis, the differentiation of adipose stem cells (AS...
