Abstract Perilipin2 (Plin2), also known as adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), or
adipophilin, is a member of the PAT family involved in lipid droplet (LD) formation in the liver …

Lipids are stored not only in adipocytes but also 'ectopically'in tissues such as muscle, liver,
beta cells and others. From a metabolic perspective, intramyocellular lipids (IMCLs) have …

Intramuscular fat (IMF) can improve meat product quality through its impact on flavour and
juiciness. High marbling cuts can command premium prices in some countries and grading …

Ectopic accumulation of adipose in the skeletal muscle is associated with muscle wasting,
insulin resistance and diabetes. However, the developmental origin of postnatal …

Objective—Intramuscular fat accumulates between muscle fibers or within muscle cells. We
investigated the association of intramuscular fat with other ectopic fat deposits and metabolic …

Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) is a lipid droplet protein and is highly expressed in oxidative tissue.
Expression of the PLIN5 gene is regulated by peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-α …

The surface of lipid droplets (LDs) in various cell types is coated with perilipin proteins
encoded by the Plin genes. Perilipins regulate LD metabolism by selectively recruiting …

Early in porcine adipose tissue development, the stromal-vascular (SV) elements control
and dictate the extent of adipogenesis in a depot-dependent manner. The vasculature and …

In the livestock industry, subcutaneous and visceral fat pads are considered as wastes,
while intramuscular fat or marbling fat is essential for improving flavor and palatability of …

A better understanding of skeletal muscle lipid metabolism is needed to identify the
molecular mechanisms relating intramuscular triglyceride (IMTG) to muscle metabolism and …
