Mice lacking triglyceride synthesis enzymes in adipose tissue are resistant to diet-induced obesity

C. Chitraju, A. W. Fischer, Y. A. Ambaw, K. Wang, B. Yuan, S. T. Hui, T. C. Walther, R. Farese

This study shows that mice lacking TG synthesis enzymes in adipose tissue are metabolically healthy and resistant to diet-induced obesity despite reduced TG storage.

Conditional targeting of phosphatidylserine decarboxylase to lipid droplets

S. Kumar, C. Chitraju, R. V. Farese, T. C. Walther, C. G. Burd

This study identifies a second form of phosphatidylserine decarboxylase, PISD-LD, which localizes to lipid droplets and is regulated by nutritional state, revealing its role in neutral lipid storage.

Lipid Droplets in Brown Adipose Tissue Are Dispensable for Cold-Induced Thermogenesis

C. Chitraju, A. Fischer, R. Farese, T. C. Walther

This study shows that lipid droplets in brown adipose tissue are not required for cold-induced thermogenesis, as mice lacking triglyceride synthesis enzymes maintain thermogenic function through alternative fuel sources.
