This was confirmed in the case of RXRalpha using the RXR-specific ligand methoprene.

Addition of methoprene acid, an RXR-specific agonist, increased (P < 0.01) GPDH activity.
Addition of TTNPB decreased (P < 0.001) the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRalpha), and adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (aP2) mRNA transcripts, whereas these effects were prevented by the presence of Ro-61.

Either RAR-specific inverted question markp-[(E)-2-(5,6,7,8,-tetrahydro-5,5,8, 8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)-1-propenyl] benzoic acid inverted question mark or RXR-specific [isopropyl-(E,E)-(R,S)-11-methoxy-3,7, 11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoate, or methoprene] synthetic compounds increase the expression of UCP-1 mRNA and the activity of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression vectors driven by the ucp-1 promoter.
During brown-adipocyte differentiation RXRalpha and RXRgamma mRNA expression is induced in parallel with UCP-1 mRNA, whereas the mRNA for the three RAR subtypes, alpha, beta and gamma, decreases.
