Fig. 4. Involvement of autophagy in adipose differentiation.

Fig. 4

Activated adipose autophagy upregulates the makers (e.g., C/EBP, Fabp4, Agpat2, FAS) of adipose differentiation and maturation. Activation of autophagy could possibly be via angiotensin II-mediated NADPH oxidase and ROS production as well as other triggers such as cell stresses, inflammation, and macrophage infiltration.
