    • Adipogenic effect of calcium sensing receptor activation 
      Villarroel, Pia; Reyes Jedlicki, Marcela; Fuentes, Cecilia; Segovia, María Pia; Tobar, Nicolás; Villalobos, Elisa; Martínez Winkler, Jorge; Hugo, Eric; Ben-Jonathan, Nira; Cifuentes, Mariana (Springer, 2013)
      We established that human adipose cells and the human adipose cell line LS14 express the calciumsensing receptor (CaSR) and that its activation induces inflammatory cytokine production. Also, its expression is enhanced ...
    • Calcium sensing receptor activation elevates proinflammatory factor expression in human adipose cells and ... 
      Cifuentes, Mariana; Fuentes, Cecilia; Tobar, Nicolás; Acevedo, Ingrid; Villalobos, Elisa; Hugo, Eric; Ben-Jonathan, Nira; Reyes Jedlicki, Marcela (Elsevier, 2012)
      The proinflammatory status of adipose tissue has been linked to the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of obesity. Human adipose cells express the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR), and its expression is elevated ...
    • Obesity-associated proinflammatory cytokines increase calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) protein expression ... 
      Cifuentes, Mariana; Fuentes, Cecilia; Mattar, Pamela; Tobar, Nicolas; Hugo, Eric; Ben-Jonathan, Nira; Rojas Baechler, Cecilia; Martínez, Jorge (2010)
      Obesity-associated health complications are thought to be in part due to the low-grade proinflammatory state that characterizes this disease. The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR), which is expressed in human adipose cells, ...
