Adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicles increase insulin secretion through transport of insulinotropic protein cargo

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) convey inter-organ communication in health and disease. Here, the authors report that adipocyte-derived EVs isolated from insulin-resistant obese but not lean male mice stimulate insulin secretion via the targeted transfer of insulinotropic proteins from adipose tissue t...
