In chronic disorders such as diabetes and obesity MAT hypertrophy is governed by the activation of a family of nuclear receptors- peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α and γ, farnesoid-x-receptor (FXR) and liver–x-receptor (LXR)- and adipokynes that are well identified targets for medical interventions. Here, NR1H4 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
