Adipose tissue lipolysis and fatty acid reesterification by liver and adipose tissue were investigated in rats fasted for 15 h under basal and calorigenic conditions. The fatty acid flux initiated by adipose fat lipolysis in the fasted rat is mostly

GPR120 is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed preferentially in the intestinal tract and adipose tissue, that has been implicated in mediating free fatty acid-stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. To develop GPR120-specific agonists, a series of compounds (denoted as NCG compounds)

Mitochondria uncoupling by fatty acids in vivo is still questionable, being confounded by their dual role as substrates for oxidation and as putative genuine uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. To dissociate between substrate and the uncoupling activity of fatty acids in

Treatment of cholesterol-fed male hamsters kept on a diet of purina chow with beta beta'-methyl-substituted hexadecanedioic acid (MEDICA 16) resulted in a progressive hypocholesterolaemic effect, amounting to a 50% decrease in the cholesterol content of all plasma lipoproteins. The decrease

The JCR:LA-cp rat develops an extreme obese/insulin-resistant syndrome such that by 12 weeks of age, there is no longer any insulin-mediated glucose turnover. At 4 weeks of age, obese and lean rats have essentially identical basal and insulin-mediated glucose uptake
