Cell-autonomous, paracrine and neuroendocrine feedback regulation of autophagy by DBI/ACBP (diazepam binding inhibitor, acyl-CoA binding protein): the obesity factor

DBI/ACBP (diazepam binding protein, acyl-CoA binding protein) participates in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism when it is localized within cells, whereas outside of cells it acts as a diazepam-binding protein. Recent results indicate that many different mammalian cell types release DBI/ACBP upon
