JC Hogan, JM Stephens - Diabetes, 2005 - Am Diabetes Assoc Growth hormone (GH) diminishes adipose tissue mass in vivo and decreases expression and
activity of fatty acid synthase (FAS) in adipocytes. GH and prolactin (PRL) are potent activators
of STAT5 and exert adipogenic and antiadipogenic effects in adipocytes. In this study, we ... Cited by 31 - Related articles - All 5 versions
