Insulin signaling requires glucose to promote lipid anabolism in adipocytes

JR Krycer, LE Quek, D Francis, A Zadoorian… - Journal of Biological …, 2020 - ASBMB
Adipose tissue is essential for metabolic homeostasis, balancing lipid storage and
mobilization based on nutritional status. This is coordinated by insulin, which triggers kinase …

Lactate production is a prioritized feature of adipocyte metabolism

JR Krycer, LE Quek, D Francis, DJ Fazakerley… - Journal of Biological …, 2020 - ASBMB
Adipose tissue is essential for whole-body glucose homeostasis, with a primary role in lipid
storage. It has been previously observed that lactate production is also an important …
