Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) hydrolyzes triglyceride (TG) in adipose tissue. HSL is also expressed heart. To explore the actions of cardiac HSL, heart-specific, tetracycline (Tc)-controlled HSL-overexpressing mice were generated. Tc-responsive element-HSL transgenic (Tg) generated and crossed with myosin heavy chain (MHC)α-tTA Tg mice, which express transactivator (tTA) The double-Tg (MHC-HSL) maintained doxycycline (Dox) to suppress HSL. Upon removal Dox, activity protein increased 12-...
