Diseases: Obesity: Aquaporin 7 (AQP7) May Be Altered

Glycerol efflux from adipocytes to the liver is crucial for lipid and glucose homeostasis. Aquaporin 7 (AQP7) is a glycerol channel serving as a gateway of glycerol release and a regulator of adipocyte metabolism.

A study done by Catalan et al. measured the gene expression of AQP7 in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and AQP9 in liver [...]
