Hormonal regulation of lipogenesis.

Journal article

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions with severe heath consequences including type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and premature cardiovascular mortality. Understanding the biological processes that govern fat deposition in a tissue-specific manner is therefore crucial if we are to try to design novel and efficacious treatments that might limit fat accumulation and improve metabolic phenotype and clinical prognosis. Lipid accumulation within a given cell type represents a ba...
