Abstract

Background: Lipoprotein lipase regulates fat uptake into adipose tissue. Results: A mouse model with increased adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase has improved glucose metabolism when challenged with a high fat diet. Conclusion: Increasing adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase improves adipose tissue function. Significance: Adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase protects against obesity-induced glucose and insulin intolerance.
