Lipopolysaccharide Modifies Glycerol Permeability and Metabolism in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
Aquaglyceroporins—aquaporin membrane channels (AQP) that conduct glycerol and other small neutral solutes in addition to water—play major roles in obesity. In adipocytes, aquaglyceroporins mediate glycerol uptake and release across the plasma membrane, which are two key steps for triacylglycerols (T...
