Ablation of a galectin preferentially expressed in adipocytes increases lipolysis, reduces adiposity, and improves insul...

The breakdown of triglycerides, or lipolysis, is a tightly controlled process that regulates fat mobilization in accord with an animal s energy needs. It is well established that lipolysis is stimulated by hormones that signal energy demand and is suppressed by the antilipolytic hormone insulin. However, much still remains to be learned about regul...
