Abstract
► Mitochondrial oxidative capacity in white fat correlates negatively with adiposity. ► Energy is required for futile fatty acid cycling (TAG/FA cycle) in adipocytes. ► Stimulation of TAG/FA cycle is associated with the induction of β-oxidation in adipocytes. ► TAG/FA-mediated energy expenditure (EE) may reduce adiposity and lipotoxicity. ► Physiological interventions may induce UCP1-independent EE in white fat.
