Cytotoxicity and Adipocyte Response to Protease Inhibitors
Explore the cytotoxicity and adipokine secretion effects of protease inhibitors on 3T3-F442A and primary human adipocytes, showcasing lipid accumulation and gene expression changes. This study investigates the impact of telmisartan and rosiglitazone co-incubation in the adipocyte models. Discover the influence on cell viability, lipid accumulation, gene expression of PPAR and Lipin1, and adipokine secretion levels.
