Estrogens promote misfolded proinsulin degradation to protect insulin production and delay diabetes [PDF]
, 2018 Summary: Conjugated estrogens (CE) delay the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in postmenopausal women, but the mechanism is unclear. In T2D, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fails to promote proinsulin folding and, in failing to do so, promotes ER stress and

Interaction of Insulin Receptor Substrate 3 with Insulin Receptor, Insulin Receptor-related Receptor, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor, and Downstream Signaling Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Insulin receptor substrates (IRS) mediate biological actions of insulin, growth factors, and cytokines. All four mammalian IRS proteins contain pleckstrin homology (PH) and phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domains at their N termini. However, the molecules diverge in their C-terminal sequences.

New Twist on Neuronal Insulin Receptor Signaling in Health, Disease, and Therapeutics
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005 Long after the pioneering studies documenting the existence of insulin (year 1967) and insulin receptor (year 1978) in brain, the last decade has witnessed extraordinary progress in the understanding of brain region-specific multiple roles of insulin ...

The impact of acute rosiglitazone on insulin pharmacokinetics at the blood‐brain barrier
Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, 2020 Introduction CNS insulin levels are decreased and insulin receptor signalling is dampened in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Increasing CNS insulin levels through a variety of methods has been shown to improve memory.

Brain Insulin Resistance: Focus on Insulin Receptor-Mitochondria Interactions
Life, 2021 Current hypotheses implicate insulin resistance of the brain as a pathogenic factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, major depression, and traumatic brain injury.

Macrophage-derived upd3 Cytokine causes impaired glucose homeostasis and reduced lifespan in drosophila fed a lipid-rich diet [PDF]
, 2014 Long-term consumption of fatty foods is associated with obesity, macrophage activation and inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and a reduced lifespan. We took advantage of Drosophila genetics to investigate the role of macrophages and the pathway(s) that ...

Calcium-sensing receptor activation increases cell-cell adhesion and ß-cell function [PDF]
, 2012 Background/Aims: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in pancreatic β-cells where it is thought to facilitate cell-to-cell communication and augment insulin secretion.

Insulin Receptor Isoforms and Insulin Receptor/Insulin-Like Growth Factor Receptor Hybrids in Physiology and Disease [PDF]
Endocrine Reviews, 2009 In mammals, the insulin receptor (IR) gene has acquired an additional exon, exon 11. This exon may be skipped in a developmental and tissue-specific manner. The IR, therefore, occurs in two isoforms (exon 11 minus IR-A and exon 11 plus IR-B). The most relevant functional difference between these two isoforms is the high affinity of IR-A for IGF-II.
