Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a regulator of lipid homeostasis in several tissues, however, its role in intestinal lipid metabolism was not yet known. Here the authors study intestine specific HDAC3 knock out mice and report that these animals have increased fatty acid oxidation and undergo remodeling of the intestinal epithelial cell lipidome.
