Diet-induced loss of adipose Hexokinase 2 triggers hyperglycemia
2019-12-28
Abstract excerpt
Chronically high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) leads to diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. Obesity is a major risk factor for hyperglycemia, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here we show that a high fat diet (HFD) in mice causes early loss of expression of the glycolytic enzyme Hexokinase 2 (HK2) specifically in adipose tissue. Adipose-specific knockout of Hk2 caused enhanced gluco...
