Chewing the fat; regulating autophagy in Drosophila.

abstract：:Earlier, we reported that S6K1(-/-) mice have reduced body fat mass, have elevated rates of lipolysis, have severely decreased adipocyte size, and are resistant to high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. Here we report that adipocytes of S6K1(-/-) mice on a HFD have the capacity to increase in size to a degree comparable...

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotic membranes, yet how cells sense and regulate its levels in vivo remains unclear. Here we show that PCYT1A, the rate-li...
