Hormone-sensitive lipase deficiency in mouse islets abolishes neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase activity but leaves lipolysis, acylglycerides, fat oxidation, and insulin secretion intact.
Lipids are thought to serve as coupling factors in insulin secretion. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is expressed in pancreatic…
