It was a privilege to work on a project that allow us to span multiple disciplines and reveal new fundamental biology. Thank you to our funding support, incl. from the NIH, @hhmi.org , and institutional support @washumedicine.bsky.social @uwbiochem.bsky.social @morgridgeinstitute.bsky.social

We hope our findings will spur future studies to clarify how these enzymes and the regulation of 4-HAs underlie human health and disease. There is much to learn about how 4-HAs contribute to whole body metabolic flexibility and their tissue- and organelle-specific functions!

Lastly, we wanted to determine how dysfunctional 4-HA catabolism affects physiology and generated ACAD11 KO mice. Disruption of ACAD11 in vivo leads to accumulation in plasma 4-HAs, higher susceptibility to diet-induced fat gain, and dysfunctional adipogenesis. 🧐
