Absence of S6K1 protects against age- and diet-induced obesity while enhancing insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: It is reported that S6K1-deficient mice are protected against obesity owing to enhanced β-oxidation, however on a high fat diet, levels of glucose and free fatty acids still rise in S6k1- deficient mice, resulting in insulin receptor desensitization.
Journal Article

Absence of S6K1 protects against age- and diet-induced obesity while enhancing insulin sensitivity. [Erratum: 2004 Sept. 23, v. 431, no. 7007, p. 485.]

TL;DR: In this article, S6K1-deficient mice are protected against obesity owing to enhanced β-oxidation, but on a high fat diet, levels of glucose and free fatty acids still rise in S6k1-dependent mice, resulting in insulin receptor desensitization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 deficiency is protective in a murine stroke model

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that inhibition of MCP-1 signaling could be a new acute treatment approach to limit infarct size after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell type specific upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in an MCA-occlusion model of cerebral infarct.

TL;DR: The spatial and temporal correlation between the induction of angiogenesis with V EGF and VEGFR-1 expression suggests that the ischemic upregulation of VEGF represents a physiological response of the brain to counterbalance hypoxia/ischemia in order to protect neuroectodermal tissue.
