Abstract
We found that both wild type and Nrf3 (NF-E2-related factor 3) deficient mice are sensitive to BHT single administration exhibiting respiratory distress and considerably lose body weight following treatment. At time of sacrifice, the BHT-treated Nrf3−/− mice had lost significantly more body weight than their WT counterparts. In the lung, transcript levels of the transcription factors Nrf1, Nrf2 and Nrf3 were differentially regulated by BHT treatment. In addition, genes implicated in adipogenesis were repressed following BHT exposure in the white adipose tissue. Together, our data provide the first evidence that BHT exposure not only affects lung function but also leads to impaired adipogenesis in adipocytes.
