Perilipin 2 (PLIN2) plays a role in regulating lipid storage in skeletal muscle and can improve insulin sensitivity, according to a study published online July 17 in Diabetes.
Noting that excessive lipid storage in skeletal muscle is characteristic of type 2 diabetes, Madeleen Bosma, from the Maastricht University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, and colleagues varied the expression of PLIN2, a lipid droplet-coating protein abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle, to examine its role in lipid handling and insulin sensitivity.
