CD36 regulates fatty acid composition and sensitivity to insulin in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Abstract: In the current study, we tested a hypothesis that CD36 fatty acid (FA) transporter might affect insulin sensitivity by indirect effects on FA composition of adipose tissue. We examined the effects of CD36 downregulation by RNA interference in 3T3-L1 adipocytes on FA transport and composition and on sensitivity to insulin action. Transfected 3T3-L1 adipocytes, without detectable CD36 protein, showed reduced neutral lipid levels and significant differences in FA composition when levels of essential FA and their … Show more

“…CD36 is an important factor in fatty acid uptake. Increased expression of CD36 in the adipose tissue has been linked to insulin resistance in in vitro ( 45 ) and humans (46, 47). Likewise, Adi-HsPRR in females decreased CD36 expression in gonadal WAT which is linked to the improved insulin response observed.…”
