Increasing Adipocyte Lipoprotein Lipase Improves Glucose Metabolism in High Fat Diet-induced Obesity
Abstract
Background: Lipoprotein lipase regulates fat uptake into adipose tissue.
Results: A mouse model with increased adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase has improved glucose metabolism when challenged with a high fat diet.
Conclusion: Increasing adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase improves adipose tissue function.
Significance: Adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase protects against obesity-induced glucose and insulin intolerance.
