Surprising Obesity Discovery Rewrites Decades of Fat Metabolism Science
Researchers at the University of Toulouse have found that hormone‑sensitive lipase (HSL), long thought to act only on the surface of lipid droplets, also resides in the nucleus of adipocytes. Inside the nucleus, HSL partners with other proteins to regulate gene programs that keep fat tissue healthy. Mice and humans lacking HSL develop lipodystrophy, losing fat rather than gaining it, overturning conventional expectations. The study also shows obese mice retain excess nuclear HSL, hinting at a disrupted balance that may contribute to metabolic disease.
