FOXO1 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency: Here, using yeast two-hybrid screening, we show that Zfp238 is a Foxo1 co-repressor and that adipose-tissue-specific ablation of Zfp238 (Adipo-Zfp238KO) in mice leads to obesity, decreased energy expenditure, and insulin resistance under normal chow diet.
