ChREBP-mediated regulation of lipid metabolism in liver and brown adipose tissue of long-lived mice

Five long-lived mouse models share a pattern of reduced liver fat production and increased brown fat—a potential aging intervention target.

Five genetically distinct slow-aging mouse models share a conserved pattern of reduced hepatic de novo lipogenesis and enhanced brown adipose tissue lipogenesis, mediated by ChREBP. This finding proposes tissue-specific ChREBP-regulated DNL as a potential mechanistic link in longevity biology with implications for metabolic aging interventions.
