Postlipolytic insulin-dependent remodeling of micro lipid droplets in adipocytes

Micro lipid droplets (mLDs) form during lipolysis in both primary and cultured adipocytes. Surprisingly, mLDs do not appear to bud from large LDs or require an intact cytoskeleton to form. Insulin and fatty acids trigger fusion and growth of mLDs to reform macroLDs, a process that is microtubule dep...
