Adipose Tissue Palmitoylation Cycling Mediates Insulin Resistance and Preservation of β-Cell Function in Mice

Excess adiposity is associated with insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. We show that palmitoylation cycling in white adipose tissue (WAT) balances insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. WAT and brown adipose tissue (BAT) ablation of acyl-protein thioesterase...
