Role of Receptor-Interacting Protein 140 in human fat cells
Abstract Background Mice lacking Receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) have reduced body fat which at least partly is mediated through increased lipid and glucose metabolism in adipose tissue.In humans, RIP140 is lower expressed in visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) of obese versus lean subjects.We investigated the role of RIP140 in human subc
