Lower NLRP3 Inflammasome activity in NAG-1 transgenic mice is linked to a resistance to obesity and increased insulin sensitivity

OBJECTIVE: The NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important regulatory role in obesity-induced insulin resistance. NSAID activated gene-1 (NAG-1) is a divergent member of the TGF-β superfamily. NAG-1 Tg mice are resistant to dietary- and genetic-induced obesity and have improved insulin sensitivity. Our ob...
