Abstract excerpt
Obesity often leads non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia. Expression of carboxylesterase CES1 is positively correlated with increased lipid storage and plasma lipid concentration. Here we investigated structural and metabolic consequences of a single nucleotide polymorphism in CES1 gene that results in p.Gly143Glu amino acid substitution. We generated a humanized mouse model...
