Others have reported that increasing diacylglycerol acyl transferase 1 (DGAT1) expression increases murine macrophage capacity for TG storage, protects against FA‐induced inflammatory activation and is sufficient to reduce the inflammatory and metabolic consequences of diet‐induced obesity (Koliwad et al., 2010). This evidence concerns the gene DGAT1 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
