Loss of Monoacylglycerol O-Acyltransferase 2 can be Compensated for by Diacylglycerol O-Acyltransferases 1 and 2 in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity and Mammary Cancer Development

Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Dietary fat absorption involves the re-esterification of digested triacylglycerol in the enterocytes, it is a biological process catalyzed by monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (MOGAT2, aka MGAT2), which is highly expressed in the small intestine. A previous study showed that the loss of the Mogat2 gene can prevent high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice. Obesit...
