Intriguing Structures On Surface Of Fat Cells Play Key Role In Regulation Of Fats

More bull from The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Nowhere does this "research" report show that "Intriguing Structures On Surface Of Fat Cells Play Key Role In Regulation Of Fats."

"The surface of fat cells contains many small pockets called caveolae (because they look like caves in an electron microscope). Although their role is not clear, Paul F. Pilch and colleagues review in the October issue of the Journal of Lipid Research current knowledge about caveolae and conclude that one of their major functions is to regulate the movement and production of fats in fat cells. Caveolae may also help the hormone insulin bind to fat cells, but this is controversial.

Insulin binds to protein receptors on the surface of a fat cell, which activates proteins inside the cell that help lower the amount of sugar in the blood and store fats. Some scientists have shown that insulin receptors attach to caveolae, hinting at a possible role of caveolae in insulin function, but other scientists have disputed this finding. Also, scientists have suggested that caveolae can be absorbed inside the cell, forming spherical vesicles that may carry fats for storage in the cell.

Caveolae may also be involved in regulating the amount of fatty acids the molecules resulting from the breakdown of fats present in fat cells."

"Role is not clear," "may also help," hinting at a possible role," may carry fats" and "may also be involved."
