During early stages of fasting, FSP27 is upregulated in the liver by CREB to facilitate storage of fatty acids. At later stages of fasting, FAO is increased, which might upregulate SIRT1 activity that would inactivate and downregulate CREB, thus decreasing FSP27 expression and increasing lipolysis to release fatty acids to be fuel for FAO.
