PPAR-y agonists like Rosiglitazone turns pre-fat cells into normal fat cells. How?- C/EBPα and aP2. These genes and others are activated and this turns stem cells and preadipocytes into mature adipocytes.
What is an adipocyte?- It's just a fat storing cell thats all.
So why shouldn't we just apply these topically?- stratum corneum is basically the skin barrier and its the outermost layer of skin. Ppar agonists like rosiglitazone are too hydrophilic. Why is this an issue?- Stratum corneum made mostly of lipids and ppar agonsists are repelled by this lipid barrier.
Also, molecules larger than 500 daltons cannot penetrate, but ppar-y agonists are usually smaller than 500 daltons so this is not the issue, but it's just because of whats mentioned before.
Method:
1. First, dissolve Rosiglitazone powder in ethanol or another solvent. Add lecithin as a thickening base.
2. Dip pdo thread with the whole cannula into this solution. Let it air dry for like maybe a few hours, then dip it again and dry for liek 10-20 minutes. You shouldn't heat dry it since it will degrade the pdo.
Back to lecithin - It just makes the solution stick better to the thread
3. Then just use it how you would normally.
I think this might work since the ppar-y agonists are inserted right into the subcutaneous fat layer, if you push hard enough?
I just thought of this and wanted to see if anyone will do it.
