Figure 2 S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation reactions are required for protein phosphatase 2A activation, which dephosphorylates (inhibits) hormone sensitive lipase. Chronic alcohol consumption induces intracellular hypomethylation status in adipocytes, which suppresses PP2A activity, leading to uncontrolled HSL activation. SAM: S-adenosylmethionine; Me: Methyl group; PP2A: Protein phosphatase 2A; HSL: Hormone sensitive lipase.
