Selective Inactivation of c-Jun NH2-Terminal Kinase in Adipose Tissue Protects Against Diet-Induced Obesity and Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Both Liver and Skeletal Muscle in Mice

Abstract

Selective suppression of JNK activation in adipose tissue alone is sufficient to counteract HFD-induced obesity and its associated metabolic dysregulations, in part through an increase in energy expenditure and a decrease in systemic inflammation.
