Overexpression of forkhead transcription factor FOXC2 in white adipose tissue (WAT) leads to a lean phenotype resistant to diet-induced obesity. This is due, in part, to enhanced catecholamine-induced cAMP-PKA signaling in FOXC2 transgenic mice. Here we show that rolipram treatment

The use of hormones for controlled ovarian stimulation results in follicular heterogeneity, with oocytes at diverse stages of nuclear and cytoplasmic development. This study evaluated the impact of temporary nuclear arrest by a specific phosphodiesterase 3-inhibitor (PDE3-I), cilostamide, on nuclear
