Role of Brain Insulin Receptor in Control of Body Weight and Reproduction

TL;DR: Mice created with a neuron-specific disruption of the IR gene showed increased food intake, and both male and female mice developed diet-sensitive obesity with increases in body fat and plasma leptin levels, mild insulin resistance, elevated plasma insulin levels, and hypertriglyceridemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

STAT3 signalling is required for leptin regulation of energy balance but not reproduction.

TL;DR: It is shown that, like db/db mice, leprS1138 homozygotes (s/s) are hyperphagic and obese, however, whereas db/ db mice are infertile, short and diabetic, s/s mice are fertile, long and less hyperglycaemic.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of insulin receptor signaling in the brain.

TL;DR: Insulin regulates phosphorylation of tau, metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein and clearance of beta-amyloid from the brain in vivo and indicates that neuronal IR signaling has a direct role in the link between energy homeostasis, reproduction and the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role for neuronal insulin resistance in neurodegenerative diseases

TL;DR: Analysis of brain/neuron-specific insulin receptor knockout mice finds that NIRKO mice exhibit a complete loss of insulin-mediated activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and inhibition of neuronal apoptosis, which may lead to changes in Akt and GSK3β activity and Tau hyperphosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin Receptor Substrate-2 Deficiency Impairs Brain Growth and Promotes Tau Phosphorylation

TL;DR: Dysregulation of the Irs2 branch of the insulin-Igf-signaling cascade reveals a molecular link between diabetes and neurodegenerative disease.
