2 Figure 1 GPR120 Is an ω3-FA Receptor/Sensor, and Loss of Function Leads to Obesity and Insulin Resistance A small fraction (∼3%) of obese subjects carry a loss-of-function, nonsynonymous GPR120 variant (R270H) that exhibits impaired intrinsic signaling properties and inhibits ω3-FA stimulation of WT GPR120. In European populations, this variant is associated with increased risk for obesity and insulin resistance, and high-fat-fed GPR120 KO mice also develop obesity and insulin resistance.
