Tissue-specific regulation of IRS-1 in unilaterally nephrectomized rats
Insulin stimulates the tyrosine kinase activity of its receptor, resulting in the phosphorylation of its cytosolic substrate, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1).

Insulin receptor activation by proinsulin preserves synapses and vision in retinitis pigmentosa
Synaptic loss, neuronal death, and circuit remodeling are common features of central nervous system neurodegenerative disorders. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the leading cause of inherited blindness, is a group of retinal dystrophies characterized by ...

Insulin signaling and its application
The discovery of insulin in 1921 introduced a new branch of research into insulin activity and insulin resistance. Many discoveries in this field have been applied to diagnosing and treating diseases related to insulin resistance.

Background In normal platelets, insulin inhibits agonist-induced Ca2+ mobilization by raising cyclic AMP. Platelet from patients with type 2 diabetes are resistant to insulin and show increased Ca2+ mobilization, aggregation and procoagulant activity. We

The impact of acute rosiglitazone on insulin pharmacokinetics at the blood‐brain barrier
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.

New Twist on Neuronal Insulin Receptor Signaling in Health, Disease, and Therapeutics
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 ...

Brain Insulin Resistance: Focus on Insulin Receptor-Mitochondria Interactions
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.

Recent studies have demonstrated that fatty acids induce insulin resistance in skeletal muscle by blocking insulin activation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1)-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). To examine the mechanism by which

ATP sensitizes the insulin receptor to insulin. [PDF]
Insulin receptor with high insulin binding and tyrosine kinase activities has been prepared from human placenta. Based on a molecular mass of 306 kDa for the receptor (the value obtained from the sum of the amino acid residues), this preparation is capable of binding 1.48 mol of insulin per mol of receptor.
