Lipid droplets (LDs) are a crucial part of lipid storage; thus, they are important players in a variety of diseases that are affected by lipid imbalances such as obesity, fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular ...

Retinyl esters form lipid droplets independently of triacylglycerol and seipin [PDF]
Lipid droplets store neutral lipids, primarily triacylglycerol and steryl esters. Seipin plays a role in lipid droplet biogenesis and is thought to determine the site of lipid droplet biogenesis and the size of newly formed lipid droplets. Here we show a

BODIPY-based Fluorescent Indicators for Lipid Droplets [PDF]
Lipid droplets are essential for cellular lipid storage, playing critical roles in cellular lipid metabolism. Although lipid droplets have drawn intense research in recent years, much remains to be uncovered about the roles of this organelle in biology ...

Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein (MTP) Associates with Cytosolic Lipid Droplets in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes. [PDF]
Lipid droplets are intracellular energy storage organelles composed of a hydrophobic core of neutral lipid, surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipid and a diverse array of proteins.

Caveolins form plasmalemnal invaginated caveolae. They also locate around intracellular lipid droplets but their role in this location remains unclear. By studying primary adipocytes that highly express caveolin-1, we characterized the impact of caveolin-

Surface-associated lipid droplets: an intermediate site for lipid transport in human adipocytes?
Adipose tissue plays a major role in regulating whole-body energy metabolism. While the biochemical processes regulating storage and release of excess energy are well known, the temporal organization of these events is much less defined.

Role of endogenous lipid droplets in lipolysis in rat adipocytes.
Sonication of rat fat cells caused an increase in lipolysis in the absence of lipolytic stimulants (basal lipolysis) and loss of epinephrine responsiveness.

The adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) was first characterized as a mRNA induced early during adipocyte differentiation (Jiang, H. P., and G. Serrero. 1992. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 89:7856-7860).

15(S)-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LO-1) was present in the whole-cell homogenate of an acute human monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1). Additionally, 15-LO-1 was detected on neutral lipid droplets isolated from THP-1 foam cells.

An in vivo reporter for tracking lipid droplet dynamics in transparent zebrafish
Lipid droplets are lipid storage organelles found in nearly all cell types from adipocytes to cancer cells. Although increasingly implicated in disease, current methods to study lipid droplets in vertebrate models rely on static imaging or the use of ...
