Abstract excerpt
Lipid perturbations associated with triglyceride overstorage in beta-cells impair insulin secretion, a process termed lipotoxicity. To assess the role of hormone-sensitive lipase, which is expressed and enzymatically active in beta-cells, in the development of lipotoxicity, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing hormone-sensitive lipase specifically in beta-cells. Transgenic mice developed glucose...
