Vascular peptide endothelin-1 links fat accumulation with alterations of visceral adipocyte lipolysis.
OBJECTIVE: Visceral obesity increases risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. This may partly be due to a region-specific resistance to insulin's antilipolytic effect in visceral adipocytes. We investigated whether adipose tissue releases the vascular peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) and wh...
