17β-estradiol lowers triglycerides in adipocytes via estrogen receptor α and it may be attenuated by inflammation

Abstract Background Estrogen was reported to protect against obesity, however the mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact of 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) on triglyceride metabolism in adipocytes with or without lipopolysacchride (LPS) stimulating, providing novel potential mechanism...
