Mice with a fat-specific insulin receptor knock-out (FIRKO) have reduced adipose tissue mass, are protected against obesity, and have an extended life span. White adipose tissue of FIRKO mice is also characterized by a polarization into two major populations of adipocytes, one small (<50 microm) and one large (>100 microm), which differ with regard to basal triglyceride synthesis and lipolysis, as well as in the expression of fatty acid synthase, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, and ...[more]
