Magnesium supplementation enhances insulin sensitivity and decreases insulin resistance in diabetic rats [PDF]

open access: yesIranian 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 ...

Landmarks in insulin research

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
Ever since the discovery of insulin and its role in the regulation of glucose uptake and utilization, there has been great interest in insulin, its structure and the way in which it interacts with its receptor and effects signal transduction. As the 90th

Insulin and Insulin Receptor Variants: Structural and Functional Insights into Insulin Resistance

open access: yesKorean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science
Insulin resistance (IR), a defining pathological feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus, results from impaired signaling through the insulin receptor (INSR).

Insulin receptor has tyrosine kinase activity toward Shc in rat liver

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
Insulin induces tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc in cell cultures and in insulin-sensitive tissues of the intact rat. However, the ability of insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase to phosphorylate Shc has not been previously demonstrated.

The Insulin Receptor Mediates Insulin’s Early Plasma Clearance by Liver, Muscle, and Kidney

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
The role of the insulin receptor in mediating tissue-specific insulin clearance in vivo has not been reported. Using physiologic insulin doses, we measured the initial clearance rate (first 5 min) of intravenously injected ([125I]TyrA14)-insulin by ...

Inhibition of D4 Dopamine Receptors on Insulin Receptor Expression and Effect in Renal Proximal Tubule Cells

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundIon transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT), which is increased in essential hypertension, is regulated by numerous hormones and humoral factors, including insulin and dopamine. Activation of dopamine receptor inhibits sodium reabsorption,

Insulin analogs and cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Today, insulin analogs are used in millions of diabetic patients. Insulin analogs have been developed to achieve more physiological insulin replacement in terms of time course of the effect.

Hyperinsulinemia alters insulin receptor presentation and internalization in brain microvascular endothelial cells

open access: yesDiabetes & Vascular Disease Research, 2022
Insulin receptors are internalized by endothelial cells to facilitate their physiological processes; however, the impact of hyperinsulinemia in brain endothelial cells is not known. Thus, the aim of this study was to elucidate the impact hyperinsulinemia

Insulin and insulin receptors in rodent brain [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetologia, 1981
While insulin effects on the central nervous system (CNS) mediated through hypoglycaemia are well known, direct insulin effects on the CNS remain controversial. Recently, we found insulin receptors in all areas of the rat brain, with highest concentrations in the olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex and hypothalamus; all areas involved in feeding.

The novel functions of high-molecular-mass complexes containing insulin receptor substrates in mediation and modulation of insulin-like activities: Emerging concept of diverse function by IRS-associated proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2015
Insulin-like peptides, such as insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), induce a variety of bioactivities, such as growth, differentiation, survival, increased anabolism and decreased catabolism in many cell types and in vivo.
