Given the metabolic benefits of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega\u20103 polyunsaturated fatty acid, we hypothesized that EPA modulates the GPD2\u2010centered glycerophosphate shuttle to reduce adiposity, glucose intolerance, and inflammation while increasing energy expenditure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Male and female GPD2 knockout (KO) and wild\u2010type (WT) littermates were fed a high\u2010fat diet (HF) without or with an 18\u2009g EPA\/kg (EPA) diet for 13\u2009weeks.

However, GPD2 deficiency and EPA had minimal metabolic effects in females.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings highlight potential mechanisms by which GPD2 combats obesity by mediating lipid metabolism.
