Electron-opaque Bodies and Fat Droplets in Mouse Liver after Fasting or Glucose Injection
Fasting produces an increased mobilization of lipid from adipose tissue to the liver and a decreased hepatic lipogenesis, but the administration of glucose stimulates lipid synthesis by the liver. After fasting of C3H mice numerous electron-opaque bodies and large lipid droplets were present in the liver. In the liver of untreated controls only a few small electron-opaque bodies and an occasion...
متن کاملAutophagosomes and lipid droplets: no longer just chewing the fat.
Autophagosomes are organelles capable of sequestering and degrading diverse cytoplasmic cargo for nutritional and quality control purposes. Targeted are also lipid droplets (LDs), the cytoplasmic stores of neutral lipids. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Shpilka et al (2015) show that the relationship between LDs and autophagosomes is far more intricate and that LDs regulate autophagosome bio...
متن کاملLipid droplets: Proteins floating on a pool of fat
Proteins on the surface of lipid storage droplets are crucial to droplet structure and function, but are poorly understood. Recent reports reveal a function for perilipins, major lipid droplet proteins in adipocytes, and show that caveolin proteins can accumulate on lipid droplets.
متن کاملBalancing the fat: lipid droplets and human disease
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic, cytosolic lipid-storage organelles found in nearly all cell types. Too many or too few LDs during excess or deficient fat storage lead to many different human diseases. Recent insights into LD biology and LD protein functions shed new light on mechanisms underlying those metabolic pathologies. These findings will likely provide opportunities for treatment of di...
متن کاملFat on the move: intracellular motion of lipid droplets.
Lipid droplets are intracellular organelles that play central roles in lipid metabolism. In many cells, lipid droplets undergo active motion, typically along microtubules. This motion has been proposed to aid growth and breakdown of droplets, to allow net transfer of nutrients from sites of synthesis to sites of need and to deliver proteins and lipophilic signals. This review summarizes the cur...
