Abstract (original English)

A recent study (Girousse et al. Cell Rep. 2019;27:323-333) shows that CXCR4 + adipose progenitors (APCs) contribute to lipid spillover during high-fat feeding through their release from subcutaneous fat depots (ScATs) and migration to skeletal muscle where they differentiate into adipocytes. Pharmacological antagonism of CXCR4, which prevents the CXCL12-dependent retention of APCs in ScAT, mimics the effects of overfeeding.
