Defective lipid metabolism associated with mutation in klf-2 and klf-3: important roles of essential dietary salts in fat storage

Dietary salts are important factors in metabolic disorders. They are vital components of enzymes, vitamins, hormones, and signal transduction that act synergistically to regulate lipid metabolism. Our previous studies have identified that Krüppel-like factor -3 (KLF-3) is an essential regulator of lipid metabolism. However, it is not known if KLF-2 also regulates lipid metabolism and whether KLF-2 and -3 mediate the effects of dietary salts on...
