Abstract
Background: Ahe mechanism underlying the association of triacylglycerol storage and insulin resistance is unclear. Results: Increasing phosphatidic acid (PA) in primary hepatocytes via de novo synthesis or action of phospholipase D or diacylglycerol kinase-θ disrupts insulin signaling. Conclusion: PA derived from different sources inhibits insulin signaling. Significance: Increases in hepatocyte PA may mechanistically link lipid storage and insulin action.
