Class-switched anti-insulin antibodies originate from unconventional antigen presentation in multiple lymphoid sites [PDF]
, 2016 Autoantibodies to insulin are a harbinger of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes in humans and in non-obese diabetic mice. To understand the genesis of these autoantibodies, we investigated the interactions of insulin-specific T and B lymphocytes using T ...

Effect of diet-induced obesity on protein expression in insulin signalling pathways of skeletal muscle in male Wistar rats [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diet-induced obesity is increasing globally, and posing significant health problems for millions of people worldwide. Diet-induced obesity is a major contributor to the global pandemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Class III PI3K regulates organismal glucose homeostasis by providing negative feedback on hepatic insulin signalling. [PDF]
, 2015 Defective hepatic insulin receptor (IR) signalling is a pathogenic manifestation of metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes. The endo/lysosomal trafficking system may coordinate insulin action and nutrient homeostasis by endocytosis of IR and ...

Minimizing Mitogenic Potency of Insulin Analogues Through Modification of a Disulfide Bond
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The mechanisms by which insulin activates the insulin receptor to promote metabolic processes and cellular growth are still not clear. Significant advances have been gained from recent structural studies in understanding how insulin binds to its receptor.

Magnesium supplementation enhances insulin sensitivity and decreases insulin resistance in diabetic rats [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2020 Objective(s): Diabetes mellitus has been suggested to be the most common metabolic disorder associated with magnesium deficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of magnesium supplementation on insulin receptor activity in ...

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2023 Severe insulin resistance can be caused by rare genetic defects in the insulin receptor known as insulin receptoropathies. These genetic defects cause a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mild syndromes to lethal disorders. Among those

An insulin receptor mutant (Asp707 → Ala), involved in leprechaunism, is processed and transported to the cell surface but unable to bind insulin [PDF]
, 1996 We have identified a homozygous mutation near the carboxyl terminus of the insulin receptor (IR) α subunit from a leprechaun patient, changing Asp707 into Ala. Fibroblasts from this patient had no high affinity insulin binding sites.

Functional selectivity of insulin receptor revealed by aptamer-trapped receptor structures
Nature Communications, 2022 DNA aptamers can activate insulin receptor as selective agonists or positive allosteric modulators. Here, authors determine structures of the insulin receptor bound to aptamers and provide a basis for the selective activation or allosteric regulation of ...
