Abstract

Background: G0S2 has been shown in vitro to be a selective inhibitor of ATGL. Results: Adipose overexpression of G0S2 leads to decreased adipose lipolysis, impeded fatty acid utilization upon fasting, and impaired cold-induced thermogenesis. Conclusion: G0S2 plays a major role in regulating global lipid and energy metabolism. Significance: Adipose lipolysis and fatty acid liberation is crucial for energy homeostasis.
