ROLE OF GSK-3 IN Wnt/β-CATENIN SIGNALING PATHWAY IN OBESITY

The complexity of the adipogenesis mechanism results from the impact of multiple cues, among which an important place is held by the components of the Wnt signaling pathway. The search for potential markers of the development of diseases related to obesity aroused an interest in the study of GSK-3 (...
