Defective uptake of triglyceride-associated fatty acids in adipose tissue causes the SREBP-1c-mediated induction of lipogenesis
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the only known enzyme in the capillary endothelium of peripheral tissues that hydrolizes plasma triglycerides and provides fatty acids (FAs) for their subsequent tissue uptake. Previously, we demonstrated that mice that express LPL exclusively in muscle develop essentiall...
