The preadipocyte differentiation biological process involves a cascade of transcriptional events that culminates in the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ. The differentiation cocktail [insulin (INS), dexamethasone (DEX) and isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX)] can induce preadipocyte differentiation in mammals, but it is insufficient for chicken () adipogenesis. Oleate can induce chicken preadipocyte differentiation, but these differentiated preadipocytes may not be fully functional. The objective of the current study was to evaluate whether chicken preadipocytes can be induced to mature adipocytes by a novel induction method using differentiation cocktail supplemented with PPARγ agonist(s). Chicken preadipocytes cultured in cocktail supplemented with rosiglitazone or troglitazone resulted in a marked increase in lipid droplet accumulation (<0.05), glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity (<0.05), mRNA expression level of adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (aP2; <0.05), G/G switch gene 2 (G0S2; <0.05) and lipolysis (<0.05). In addition, supplementation of the cocktail with rosiglitazone promoted PPARγ mRNA expression (<0.05). In conclusion, our data indicated that chicken preadipocytes can be induced to mature adipocytes using differentiation cocktail supplemented with rosiglitazone. The results of the present study provide a novel induction method for chicken preadipocyte differentiation.

In an established hepatocyte lipid deposition heat stress model, the expression levels of and were significantly upregulated ( < 0.05), indicating that and play important roles in the process of lipid deposition heat stress in hepatocytes. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses showed that lipid deposition heat stress had significant effects on the linoleic acid, linolenic acid, glycerophospholipid, and arachidonic acid metabolic pathways in hepatocytes.

Adipocytes secrete adipokines, bioactive molecules crucial for various physiological processes, such as enhancing insulin sensitivity, promoting wound healing, supporting hair growth, and exhibiting anti-aging effects on the skin. With the growing global demand for sustainable and alternative protein sources, insect-derived proteins, particularly from (mealworms), have gained attention due to their high nutritional value and functional bioactivities. This study aims to explore the potential of mealworm-derived protein hydrolysates as novel bioactive materials for promoting adipogenesis and improving adipokine expression, with applications in metabolic health and skin regeneration.

GATA-3 is a master regulator of preadipocyte differentiation and function. Pharmacological or genetic targeting of GATA-3 will allow us to understand the function of GATA-3 in regulating metabolism, insulin signaling, and inflammation. Pyrrothiogatain, a novel small molecule inhibitor of GATA family proteins, has emerged as a promising tool for modulating GATA-3 activity.

Stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1 (STING1), as an innate immune adaptor protein that mediates DNA sensing, has attracted tremendous biomedical interest. However, several recent researches have revealed the key role of STING1 in regulating the metabolic pathway. Here, we investigated its role in adipocyte differentiation.

Previous studies have identified G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 5 (GRK5) as a genetic factor contributing to obesity pathogenesis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We demonstrate here that Grk5 mRNA is more abundant in stromal vascular fractions of mouse white adipose tissue, the fraction that contains adipose progenitor cells, or committed preadipocytes, than in adipocyte fractions. Thus, we generated a GRK5 knockout (KO) 3T3-L1 preadipocyte to further investigate the mechanistic role of GRK5 in regulating adipocyte differentiation.
