differentiation of confluent 3t3-l1 preadipocytes to adipocytes in the presence of dexamethasone and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine for 7 days resulted in a 4-fold increase in the incorporation of acetoacetate-carbon into fatty acids and in the activity of 3-oxoacid coa-transferase , which catalyzes the first committed step in the conversion of acetoacetate to acetoacetyl-coa .
