Fatty acid metabolization and insulin regulation prevent liver injury from lipid accumulation in Himalayan marmots
Summary: Fat storage and weight gain are dominant traits for hibernating mammals.However, excessive fat accumulation may cause liver damage.Here, we explore the lipid accumulation and metabolic processes of the Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana), a hibernating rodent species.We find that the unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) content in biomane detang
