Caveolins/caveolae protect adipocytes from fatty acid-mediated lipotoxicity
Mice and humans lacking functional caveolae are dyslipidemic and have reduced fat stores and smaller fat cells. To test the role of caveolins/caveolae in maintaining lipid stores and adipocyte integrity, we compared lipolysis in caveolin-1 (Cav1)-null fat cells to that in cells reconstituted for cav...
