Reduced body weight, adipose tissue, and leptin levels despite increased energy intake in female mice lacking acylation-stimulating protein.

Abstract excerpt

Acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) is a potent lipogenic protein produced by adipocytes. In vitro studies have shown that ASP increases triglyceride synthesis and glucose transport in both murine and human adipocytes. Our initial study indicated that complement C3-deficient (-/-) mice (and, therefore, ASP deficient) demonstrated altered dietary postprandial triglyceride clearance. In the present study we...
