To further investigate the putative role of Dbc1 in adipose cells during obesity and its effects on metabolic dysregulation, we generated conditional Dbc1 knockout (KO) mice by backcrossing with AdipoQ-CRE transgenic mice to selectively abrogate Dbc1 expression in all mature adipocytes (Dbc1LoxP/LoxP;CRE). This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and Obesity.
