Inhibition of ASCT2 is essential in all‐trans retinoic acid‐induced reduction of adipogenesis in 3T3‐L1 cells

Vitamin A has preventive effects on obesity. All‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA), the active form of vitamin A, inhibits lipid accumulation in 3T3‐L1 cells in an experimental adipogenesis model. We found that ATRA suppressed up‐regulation of the amino acid transporter, Asct2, in adipogenerating 3T3‐L1 ce...
