2-Hydroxyglutarate Redirects Fatty Acid Partitioning to Mitigate Lipotoxic Stress and Preserve Metabolic Fuel

The role of 2-hydroxyglutarate in lipid metabolism is currently unknown. Here we show that 2HG redistributes the partitioning of fatty acids into triglyceride storage and away from membrane phospholipid synthesis, mitochondrial oxidation, and lipotoxic intermediates. In primary human cardiac and vascular cells, both en...
