Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cell-surface F1F0-ATP synthase plays a role on intracellular triacylglycerol (TG) accumulation in adipocytes. Here we show that cell-surface F1F0-ATP synthase on adipocytes is functional in extracellular ATP production and that the extracellular ATP produced contributes, at least in part, to the cell-surface F1F0-ATP synthase-mediated intracellular triacylglycerol (TG) accumulation in adipocytes through P2Y1 receptor. We synthesized water-soluble resveratrol and piceatannol which are F1F0-ATP synthase inhibitors) and found that these compounds significantly lowered abdominal visceral adipose tissue in diet-induced obese mice.
