Abstract

Sugar is a major component of the modern diet. Fernandez et al. identify ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) as a key facilitator of transcriptional and metabolic responses to dietary carbohydrates in adipocytes. Lack of adipocyte ACLY disrupts proper storage of lipids in adipose versus liver and promotes insulin resistance, particularly in females.
