ObesogensFelix Grün
Center for Complex Biological Systems, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California 92697 2280, USA
Curr Opin Endocrinol Diabetes Obes 17:453-9. 2010..This review focuses on recent experimental advances for candidate obesogens that target nuclear hormone receptors when a direct link between exposure, modulation of transcriptional networks and adipogenic phenotypes can be rationalized...
Perturbed nuclear receptor signaling by environmental obesogens as emerging factors in the obesity crisisFelix Grün
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California Irvine, Irvine, CA, USA
Rev Endocr Metab Disord 8:161-71. 2007....
Benzoate X receptors alpha and beta are pharmacologically distinct and do not function as xenobiotic receptorsFelix Grün
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine 92697 2300, USA
J Biol Chem 277:43691-7. 2002..Neither BXR shows the broad specificity toward steroids or xenobiotics exhibited by SXR/PXR. Therefore, we conclude that the BXRs are pharmacologically distinct from each other and unlikely to serve as xenobiotic sensors...
Endocrine-disrupting organotin compounds are potent inducers of adipogenesis in vertebratesFelix Grün
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California Irvine, 2113 McGaugh Hall, Irvine, California 92697 2300, USA
Mol Endocrinol 20:2141-55. 2006..Developmental or chronic lifetime exposure to organotins may therefore act as a chemical stressor for obesity and related disorders...
Environmental obesogens: organotins and endocrine disruption via nuclear receptor signalingFelix Grün
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92697 2300, USA
Endocrinology 147:S50-5. 2006..The linking of organotin exposure to adipocyte differentiation and obesity opens an important new area of research into potential environmental influences on human health and disease...
Endocrine disrupters as obesogensFelix Grün
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California Irvine, 92697 2300, USA
Mol Cell Endocrinol 304:19-29. 2009..This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of the molecular targets and mechanisms of action for these compounds and areas of future research needed to evaluate the significance of their contribution to obesity...
Mutual repression between steroid and xenobiotic receptor and NF-kappaB signaling pathways links xenobiotic metabolism and inflammationChangcheng Zhou
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine 92697 2300, USA
J Clin Invest 116:2280-2289. 2006..This mechanistic relationship has clinical consequences for individuals undergoing therapeutic exposure to the wide variety of drugs that are also SXR agonists...
Minireview: the case for obesogensFelix Grün
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92697 2300, USA
Mol Endocrinol 23:1127-34. 2009..This review considers the evidence for obesogens, how they might act, and where future research is needed to clarify their relative contribution to the obesity epidemic...
Identification of novel nuclear hormone receptor ligands by activity-guided purificationFelix Grün
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, California 92697 2300, USA
Methods Enzymol 364:3-24. 2003
Activation of steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR, NR1I2) and its orthologs in laboratory, toxicologic, and genome model speciesMatthew R Milnes
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, California 92697 2300, USA
Environ Health Perspect 116:880-5. 2008..The ligand-binding domain is principally responsible for species-specific activation of NR1I2 in response to xenobiotic exposure...
Vitamin K2 regulation of bone homeostasis is mediated by the steroid and xenobiotic receptor SXRMichelle M Tabb
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, California 92697 2300, USA
J Biol Chem 278:43919-27. 2003..An important implication of this work is that a subset of SXR activators may function as effective therapeutic agents for the management of osteoporosis...
Highly chlorinated PCBs inhibit the human xenobiotic response mediated by the steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR)Michelle M Tabb
Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of California, Irvine, California 92697-2300, USA
Environ Health Perspect 112:163-9. 2004..The antagonistic PCBs are among the most stable and abundant in human tissues. These findings have important implications for understanding the biologic effects of PCB exposure and the use of animal models to predict the attendant risk...
