Genetic deletion of mast cell serotonin synthesis prevents the development of obesity and insulin resistance

Nature Communications, 2020
Serotonin inhibits adipose tissue thermogenesis. Here the authors show that obese mice housed in thermoneutrality have increased mast cell serotonin synthesis, and that inhibiting this pathway through deletion of mast cell Tph1 increases white adipose ...
