| Research Abstract |
The study investigated the cellular origin and physiological significance of micro lipid droplets (mLDs) that emerge in the cytoplasm during active lipolysis, as well as the roles of key liplolytic proteins on mLDs in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The results suggest that, besides the surface of pre-existing central LDs, LD-associated proteins are actively involved in lipolysis on mLDs that are formed by fatty acids re-esterification. Furthermore, the lipolytic activity was increased by exercise-inducible factors such as H2O2, lactate-inducible signals, increased cellular calcium levels, AMP kinase, and nitric oxide inaccordance with elevated levels of LD-associated proteins and mitochondrial biogenic signaling.
