A role of lipin in human obesity and insulin resistance: relation to adipocyte glucose transport and GLUT4 expression

The mouse lipin gene, Lpin1, is important for adipose tissue development and is a candidate gene for insulin resistance. Here, we investigate the adipose tissue expression levels of the human LPIN1 gene in relation to various clinical variables as well as adipocyte function. LPIN1 gene expression wa...
