IRF1 in Adipocytes Is Associated with Insulin Signaling and Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Diet-Induced Obesity

Obesity-associated metabolic disorders are characterized by impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and adipose tissue dysfunction. Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) is a transcription factor primarily involved in immune regulation; however, its role in adipocyte metabolic regulation remains inco...
