Abstract

The complex process of lipolysis mobilizes fatty acids from adipocyte triglyceride stores for energy production in muscle and other organs during fasting and exercise. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Yang, et al. identify G0S2 as a regulator of the key enzyme, adipose triglyceride lipase.
