Abstract excerpt
Upstream transcription factor 1 (USF1) regulates the expression of many genes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism, among them genes regulating lipolysis. USF1 specifically regulates the expression of the hormone-sensitive lipase gene (HSL) in adipocytes and the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) in the liver, which was found to be involved in liver fat accumulation. The usf1s1 C > T and usf1s2 G > A...
