Cullin neddylation inhibitor attenuates hyperglycemia by enhancing hepatic insulin signaling through insulin receptor substrate stabilization [Physiology]
Hepatic insulin resistance is a hallmark feature of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type-2 diabetes and significantly contributes to systemic insulin resistance. Abnormal activation of nutrient and stress-sensing kinases leads to serine/threonine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and subsequent IRS proteasome degradation, which is a key underlying cause of...
