Important players in triglyceride (TG) metabolism include the liver (production), white
adipose tissue (WAT)(storage), heart and skeletal muscle (combustion to generate ATP),
and brown adipose tissue (BAT)(combustion toward heat), the collective action of which
determine plasma TG levels. Interestingly, recent evidence points to a prominent role of the
hypothalamus in TG metabolism through innervating the liver, WAT, and BAT mainly via
sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. Here, we review the recent findings …
