Reduced triglyceride secretion in response to an acute dietary fat challenge in obese compared to lean mice.

Reduced triglyceride secretion in response to an acute dietary fat challenge in obese compared to lean mice.

Obesity results in abnormally high levels of triglyceride (TG) storage in tissues such as liver, heart and muscle, which disrupts their normal functions. Recently, we found that lean mice challenged with high levels of dietary fat store TGs in cytoplasmic lipid droplets in the absorptive cells of t...
