• Treatment of diabetes and atherosclerosis by inhibiting fatty-acid-binding protein aP2.

  Adipocyte fatty-acid-binding protein, aP2 (FABP4) is expressed in adipocytes and macrophages, and integrates inflammatory and metabolic responses. Stu…

• Coordinated regulation of nutrient and inflammatory responses by STAMP2 is essential for metabolic homeostasis.

  Metabolic and inflammatory pathways crosstalk at many levels, and, while required for homeostasis, interaction between these pathways can also lead to…

• Fuel selection in Wistar rats exposed to cold: shivering thermogenesis diverts fatty acids from re-esterification to oxidation.

  This study characterizes the effects of shivering thermogenesis on metabolic fuel selection in Wistar rats. Because lipids account for most of the hea…

• Lipid mobilization of long-distance migrant birds in vivo: the high lipolytic rate of ruff sandpipers is not stimulated during shivering.

  For long migrations, birds must rely on high flux capacities at all steps of lipid metabolism, from the mobilization of adipose reserves to fatty acid…

• High resting triacylglycerol turnover of rainbow trout exceeds the energy requirements of endurance swimming.

  Fish may use lipoproteins instead of albumin-bound fatty acids to fuel endurance exercise, but lipoprotein kinetics have never been measured in ectoth…

• In vivo regulation of rainbow trout lipolysis by catecholamines.

  Lipolysis provides fatty acids that support key life processes by functioning as membrane components, oxidative fuels and metabolic signals. It is com…

• Chemical chaperones reduce ER stress and restore glucose homeostasis in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes.

  Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key link between obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Here, we provide evidence that this mechanis…

• Energetics of a long-distance migrant shorebird (Philomachus pugnax) during cold exposure and running.

  The metabolic consequences of cold exposure and exercise are not well characterized in birds. Ruff sandpipers Philomachus pugnax are migrant shorebird…
