Sensing of nutrient status coordinates the regulation of liver glucose and lipid metabolism, and is important for metabolic homeostasis. Here the authors report that transcriptional the corepressor CtBP2 can sense nutrient status and coordinate repression of liver glucose and lipid metabolism via Fox01 and SREBP1, respectively.
