Metallothioneins regulate the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells via the insulin signaling pathway.

Metallothioneins regulate the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells via the insulin signaling pathway.

Knockout of metallothionein (MT) genes contributes to a heavier body weight in early life and the potential to become obese through the intake of a high fat diet (HFD) in mice. It has thus been suggested that MT genes regulate the formation of adipose tissue, which would become the base for later HF...
