GALNT2, also known as polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2, is an enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of O-linked glycosylation, a crucial posttranslational modification that affects protein folding, stability, and function. Alterations in GALNT2 activity have been implicated in various diseases, such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, highlighting its importance in maintaining normal physiological functions. To investigate the impact of GalNT2 overexpression in vivo for the first time, we generated a conditional transgenic mouse line in which GalNT2 was expressed specifically in the pancreas.

Little is known about the role of peripheral Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in regulating energy homeostasis. A recent study published in by Zhu et al. demonstrates that NPY released by sympathetic nerve terminals in the adipose tissue stimulates the proliferation of thermogenic adipocytes.

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) play a significant role in bone metabolism as they can differentiate into osteoblasts, bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds), and chondrocytes. BMSCs chronically exposed to nutrient overload undergo adipogenic programming, resulting in bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) formation. BMAT is a fat depot transcriptionally, metabolically, and morphologically distinct from peripheral adipose depots.
