Figure 3. Regulation of adipocyte LCFA uptake appears to regulate body adiposity.

Figure 3

All well-studied genetic and dietary animal models of obesity, as well as obese human subjects, exhibit selective up-regulation of facilitated LCFA by adipocytes. This suggests that regulation of adipocyte LCFA uptake represents a final, common pathway for control of body adiposity resulting from a diversity of primary causes. From Bradbury MW, Berk PD.
