...Malin Fex; Hindrik Mulder Lipids have been implicated in β-cell stimulus–secretion coupling. In such a role, lipases in β-cells would be required to generate lipid coupling factors. We have shown previously that glucose stimulates lipolysis in rodent islets. In addition, lipolysis...

... to be identified, it is nevertheless increasingly clear that these proteins have important effects on plasma triacylglycerol clearance, adipose tissue lipolysis, and adiposity. This review summarizes contemporary data on ANGPTLs with emphasis on the connection with energy metabolism. 1 email sander.kersten...

.... Enzymes from both humans and ground squirrel displayed high activity at temperatures as low as 0°C and showed Q 10 =1.2–1.5 over the temperature range 37–7°C. These studies indicate that low-temperature lipolysis is a general property of PTL and does not require protein modifications unique to mammalian...

...G.F. Gibbons; D. Wiggins; A.-M. Brown; A.-M. Hebbachi Most of the triacylglycerol (TAG) utilized for the assembly of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the secretory apparatus of the hepatocyte is mobilized by lipolysis of the cytosolic TAG pool, followed by re-esterification. The lipases...

... fatty acids. Lipolysis in the adipocytes of node-containing depots can be stimulated via inflammation of the enclosed lymph nodes. Repeated immune stimulation elicits properties characteristic of perinodal adipocytes in those elsewhere in the same depot, and hours later in other node-containing depots...
