Core Tip	Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is reported to improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), mainly via direct action on the liver. However, organs other than the liver may also be involved in regulation of hepatic lipid contents. In this study, we found significant upregulation of lipolytic genes in adipose tissue in exenatide-treated NAFLD rats. Up-regulation of catalase, superoxide dismutase and mitochondrial morphological regulators was observed in adipose tissue. These metabolic changes were accompanied by increased oxygen consumption and decreased respiratory exchange ratio. Taken together, enhanced lipid use by GLP-1 in adipose tissue may play an important role in the improvement of NAFLD.
