Deficiency of the orphan nuclear hormone receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP, NR0B2) protects mice from diet-induced hepatic steatosis, in part, via repression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma2 (Pparg2) gene expression.…
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a master regulator for white adipocyte differentiation and lipid storage. The increased level of hepatic PPARgamma2 isoform reprograms liver for lipid storage and causes abnormal fat…
Nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) are important regulators of bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that global Fxr (-/-) Shp(-/-) double knockout (DKO) mice are refractory to weight…
