LMO4 palmitoylation (Palm) and inhibition of PTP1B activity are sensitive to saturated fatty acid. Hypothalamic PTP1B activity was increased 4 h after intracerebroventricular infusion of palmitic acid (A) (PA; 1 μl of 500 nm) or 7 d after an HFD (C). Immunoblot analyses showed that LMO4 palmitoylation and oxi-PTP1B levels were reduced by PA (B) or HFD (D). *p < 0.05; n = 5–6 mice per group, aged 6–8 weeks.
