Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate the role of mitochondrial acyl-CoA:glycerol-sn-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1 (mtGPAT1) in the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis and hepatic insulin resistance, we examined whole-body insulin action in awake mtGPAT1 knockout (mtGPAT1(-/-)) and wild-type (wt) mice after regular control diet or three weeks of high-fat feeding. In contrast to high-fat-fed wt mice, mtGPAT1(-/-) mice displayed...
