Loss of Insulin Signaling in Hepatocytes Leads to Severe Insulin Resistance and Progressive Hepatic Dysfunction

TL;DR: In this paper, the Cre-loxP system was used to inactivate the insulin receptor gene in hepatocytes, and the effect of the loss of direct insulin action in liver was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual roles for glucokinase in glucose homeostasis as determined by liver and pancreatic beta cell-specific gene knock-outs using Cre recombinase.

TL;DR: These studies indicate that deficiencies in both β cell and hepatic GK contribute to the hyperglycemia of MODY-2, and suggest that heterozygous null for GK, either globally or just in the β cell, survive but are moderately hyperglycemic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-Specific Knockout of the Insulin Receptor in Pancreatic β Cells Creates an Insulin Secretory Defect Similar to that in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: An important functional role for the insulin receptor in glucose sensing by the pancreatic beta cell is indicated and it is suggested that defects in insulin signaling at the level of the beta cell may contribute to the observed alterations in insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of de novo fatty acid synthesis to hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance: lessons from genetically engineered mice

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the field of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease discusses recent advances and suggests that modulating important enzymes in fatty acid synthesis in liver may be key for the treatment of NAFLD.
