Inactivation of the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase IDOL (Inducible Degrader of the Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor) Attenuates Diet-Induced Obesity and Metabolic Dysfunction in Mice.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study uncovers an unrecognized role for Idol in regulation of whole body metabolism in physiological aging and on a Western-type diet. These findings support Idol inhibition as a therapeutic strategy to target multiple metabolic syndrome-associated comorbidities.
