Hepatic Inactivation of Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 1a Lowers Apolipoprotein B Containing Lipoproteins in Mice

Robert Nathaniel Helsley, Mikala M. Zelows, Victoria P. Noffsinger…·Gregory A. Graf

This study shows that reducing CPT1a in the liver lowers apoB-containing lipoproteins and cholesterol in mice, with increased clearance of these lipoproteins linked to enhanced PPAR signaling.

Loss of Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 1a Reduces Docosahexaenoic Acid-Containing Phospholipids and Drives Sexually Dimorphic Liver Disease in Mice

Mikala M. Zelows, Corissa Cady, Nikitha Dharanipragada…·Robert Nathaniel Helsley

This study shows that liver-specific deletion of CPT1a in mice leads to reduced DHA-containing phospholipids and sexually dimorphic liver disease, with females showing more severe effects.
