Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose triglyceride lipase-mediated lipolysis of cellular fat stores is activated by CGI-58 and defective in Chanarin-Dorfman Syndrome.

TL;DR: Exercise of functional CGI-58 in CDS fibroblasts restores lipolysis and reverses the abnormal TG accumulation typical for CDS, establishing an important biochemical function for CGI- 58 in the lipolytic degradation of fat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose triglyceride lipase and the lipolytic catabolism of cellular fat stores

TL;DR: The structure, function, and regulation of lipolytic enzymes with a special emphasis on ATGL are focused on, which create the "lipolysome," a complex metabolic network that contributes to the control of lipid and energy homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian patatin domain containing proteins: a family with diverse lipolytic activities involved in multiple biological functions.

TL;DR: The human genome expresses nine patatin-like phospholipase domain containing proteins (PNPLA1-9) as mentioned in this paper, which share a protein domain discovered initially in patatin, the most abundant protein of the potato tuber.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid metabolism and signaling in cardiac lipotoxicity.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current understanding of lipid uptake, metabolism and signaling pathways that have been implicated in the development of lipotoxic cardiomyopathy under conditions including obesity, diabetes, aging, and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion.
