Representation of the effects of BPA on adipogenesis in ASCs. The diagram illustrates BPA entering into an ASC, then interacting with the ER and translocating to the nucleus, where the transcription of key adipogenic genes such as DLK, CEBPA, IGF1, PPARγ, and LPL is increased, in turn enhancing and accelerating the path from adipose stem/stromal cell to mature adipocyte.
