Thus, neuronal insulin-like signaling appears to be a key regulator of various essential functions in C. elegans, and the metabolic and reproductive defects induced by whole-body deletion of DAF-2 ...
One possibility is that in an attempt to overcome the inhibition within the metabolic insulin-signaling pathway, hyperinsulinemia may continue to stimulate the mitogenic insulin-signaling pathway ...
the PI3K–PKB/Akt pathway, which is responsible for most of the metabolic actions of insulin, including uptake of glucose by the glucose transporter GLUT4 and glycogen synthesis; and second ...
A fat-derived protein known for its effects on the liver and skeletal muscle might also serve as an energy-conserving signal to the ... the body’s response to insulin. Studies have also ...
The discovery of a gut-to-brain regulation pathway in flies calls for ... "We know that reducing insulin, and reducing IGF signaling, slows aging and extends lifespan in flies," Tatar said.
