They play a pivotal role in influencing the behavior and functionality of LDs, regulating lipase activity, and preserving a balance between lipid synthesis and degradation, which is crucial in the development of obesity and abnormal accumulation of fat in non-adipose tissues, causing negative adverse biological effects, such as insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation. This evidence concerns the gene INS and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
