Hepatic arginase 2 (Arg2) is sufficient to convey the therapeutic metabolic effects of fasting
Fasting is known for its beneficial effects on obesity and diabetes-related health complications. Here Zhang et al. show that fasting induces expression of arginase-2 (Arg2) in the liver, and that hepatic Arg2, by suppressing the expression of the regulator of G-protein signalling 16, recapitulates...
