Figure 4. 9. LPS-induced inflammation in preadipocytes suppresses PPARγ activity and insulin sensitivity in<br />

adipocytes. Our results suggest that preadipocytes are more susceptible targets to LPS, increasing cytokine<br />

expression though NFκB and MAPK pathway. In turn, secreted cytokines activate NFκB and MAPK signaling<br />

in adipocytes leading to suppression of PPARγ activity, target gene expression (Glut4, glucose transporter 4;<br />

APM-1, adiponectin; aP2, adipocyte-specific fatty acid binding protein; SCD, stearoyl-coA desaturase; FAS,<br />

fatty acid syntase; PLIN, perilipin), and insulin sensitivity.<br />
