Attenuation of Adipocyte Triacylglycerol Hydrolase Activity Decreases Basal Fatty Acid Efflux
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fatty acids released from adipose triacylglycerol stores by lipolysis provide vertebrates with an important source of energy. We investigated the role of microsomal triacylglycerol hydrolase (TGH) in the mobilization of adipocyte triacylglycerols through inactivation of the TGH activity by RNA interference or chemical inhibition. Attenuation of TGH activity resulted in decreased basal but not isoproterenol-stimulated efflux of fatty acids from 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Lack of TGH activity was accompanied by accumulation of cellular triacylglycerols and cholesteryl esters without any changes in the expression of enzymes catalyzing triacylglycerol synthesis (diacylglycerol acyltransferases 1 and 2) or degradation (adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase). Inhibition of TGH-mediated lipolysis also did not affect insulin-stimulated Glut4 translocation from intracellular compartments to the plasma membrane or glucose uptake into adipocytes. These data suggest that TGH plays a role in adipose tissue triacylglycerol metabolism and may be a suitable pharmacological target for lowering fatty acid efflux from adipose tissue without altering glucose import.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
