Matriptase-2 deficiency protects from obesity by modulating iron homeostasis

Iron homeostasis dysfunctions have been associated with several metabolic disorders including obesity, steatosis and diabetes. Here the authors demonstrate that the hepcidin repressor matriptase-2 regulates adiposity and its deficiency protects mice against obesity and promotes lipolysis.
