C/EBP <scp> <i>α</i> </scp> is Essential for Gonadal but Not Inguinal White Adipose Tissue Formation in Mice
These results highlight a previously unrecognized difference in the essentiality of C/EBPα for gWAT and iWAT development and highlight novel interorgan relationships between WAT and other metabolic tissues. Further studies of these specific mechanisms could have clinical relevance for targeting visceral adiposity in humans.
