Adipose tissue mTORC2 regulates ChREBP-driven de novo lipogenesis and hepatic glucose metabolism

Abstract

The kinase mTOR controls anabolic metabolism. Here, the authors create fat-specific mTORC2 knockout mice using the Adiponectin-Cre driver and show mTORC2 signalling is important for systemic metabolic homeostasis by controlling adipocyte de novolipogenesis and glucose uptake.
