Abstract

Retinol saturase (RetSat) is an oxidoreductase with unknown function in the intestine. We found that RetSat localizes in intestinal epithelial cells and that its deletion reduced weight gain and fat mass in obese mice. In colitis, which decreased intestinal RetSat expression in humans and mice, RetSat ablation improved the epithelial architecture of the murine colon, presumably by decreasing ROS production, thus rendering RetSat a novel target for metabolic and inflammatory bowel disease.
