Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 deficiency increases fatty acid oxidation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase in liver

TL;DR: The phosphorylation and activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a metabolic sensor that regulates lipid metabolism during increased energy expenditure is significantly increased and identified as a mediator of increased fatty acid oxidation in liver of SCD1-deficient mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Site and mechanism of leptin action in a rodent form of congenital lipodystrophy

TL;DR: It is shown that low-dose central leptin corrects the insulin resistance and fatty liver of lipodystrophic aP2-nSREBP-1c mice, while the same dose given peripherally does not, and data suggest that CNS-mediated repression of SCD-1 contributes to leptin's antisteatotic actions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 deficiency elevates insulin-signaling components and down-regulates protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B in muscle.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that loss of SCD1 function induces increased insulin signaling at least in part by a reduction in the expression of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B, which could be a therapeutic target in the treatment of diabetes.
