The role of transforming growth factor-beta/SMAD3 in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome.
Transforming growth factor-beta/SMAD3 signaling has been implicated in various metabolic processes. However, the systemic effects of SMAD3 deficiency on adiposity and insulin resistance remain obscure. We found that SMAD3-knockout mice exhibited diminished adiposity with improved glucose tolerance a...
