Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT) enzymes catalyze the synthesis of diacylglycerol from monoacylglycerol. Previous work has suggested the importance of MGAT activity in the development of obesity-related hepatic insulin resistance. Indeed, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated knockdown of Mogat1 mRNA, which encodes MGAT1, reduced hepatic MGAT activity and improved glucose tolerance and...
