Article Synopsis
- Studies suggest that changing how enterocytes (intestinal cells) metabolize fats can influence overall glucose balance and obesity risk.
- Researchers tested mice with a modified gene that enhances fat oxidation in enterocytes, comparing those on a low-fat diet to a high-fat diet.
- Mice with enhanced fat oxidation showed better blood sugar control on a high-fat diet despite both groups gaining weight, indicating that modifying enterocyte metabolism can improve glycemic control independent of body weight but is affected by dietary fat content.
