Adipocyte-specific Hypoxia-inducible gene 2 promotes fat deposition and diet-induced insulin resistance

Objective: Adipose tissue relies on lipid droplet (LD) proteins in its role as a lipid-storing endocrine organ that controls whole body metabolism. Hypoxia-inducible Gene 2 (Hig2) is a recently identified LD-associated protein in hepatocytes that promotes hepatic lipid storage, but its role in the a...
