Analytical Study on Hormones & Metabolites in Adipose-Specific Rictor KO Mice
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Guertin, David
Description Normal adipose tissue growth and function is critical to maintaining metabolic
homeostasis and its excess (e.g. obesity) or absence (e.g. lipodystrophy) is
associated with severe metabolic disease. The goal of this study was to
understand the mechanisms maintaining healthy adipose tissue growth and
function.

Adipose tissue senses and responds to systemic changes in growth factor and
nutrient availability; in cells mTORC1 regulates metabolism in response to
growth factors and nutrients. Thus, mTORC1 is poised to be a critical
intracellular regulator of adipocyte metabolism. Here, we investigate the role
of mTORC1 in mature adipocytes by generating and characterizing mice in which
the Adiponectin-Cre driver is used to delete floxed alleles of Raptor, which
encodes an essential regulatory subunit of mTORC1.
