title: Fat targets for insulin signaling.
abstract: Adipose cells control flux of fatty acids to peripheral tissues by storing and hydrolyzing triglyceride under hormonal control. New data reveal that insulin may regulate this process in part by promoting membrane trafficking of intracellular fatty acid transporters FATP1 and FATP4 to the plasma membrane.
