PLIN2 and leprosy: Consistently with our previous findings [10], the expressions of host hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), a key molecule in fatty acid mobilization and lipolysis sensitive, were greatly induced in most cases (12/15) after MDT (Fig 6), suggesting that the decreases in ADRP expressions were likely a specific outcome of anti-leprosy treatment, but not due to overall lower RNA concentrations.
