Schematic representation of T action on adipogenesis. Testosterone inhibits hASC commitment through preadipocyte phenotype via impairment of BMP4-induced PPARγ and C/EBPα mRNA expression. An additional inhibitory effect of T on early-stage preadipocyte differentation and C/EBPβ mRNA expression may occur through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
