Abstract
It is now commonly accepted that chronic inflammation associated with obesity during aging induces insulin resistance in the liver. In the present study, we investigated whether the improvement in insulin sensitivity and insulin signaling, mediated by acute exercise, could be associated with modulation of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) in the liver of old rats. Aging rats were subjected to swimming for two 1.5-h long bouts, separated by a 45 min rest period. Sixteen hours after the exercise, the rats were sacrificed and proteins from the insulin signaling pathway were analyzed by immunoblotting. Our results show that the fat mass was increased in old rats. The reduction in glucose disappearance rate (Kitt) observed in aged rats was restored 16 h after exercise. Aging increased the content of PTP-1B and attenuated insulin signaling in the liver of rats, a phenomenon that was reversed by exercise. Aging rats also increased the IRβ/PTP-1B and IRS-1/PTP-1B association in the liver when compared with young rats. Conversely, in the liver of exercised old rats, IRβ/PTP-1B and IRS-1/PTP-1B association was markedly decreased. Moreover, in the hepatic tissue of old rats, the insulin signalling was decreased and PEPCK and G6Pase levels were increased when compared with young rats. Interestingly, 16 h after acute exercise, the PEPCK and G6Pase protein level were decreased in the old exercised group. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms by which exercise restores insulin signalling in liver during aging.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important regulators of intracellular signaling pathways via the dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosyl residues on various receptor and non-receptor substrates. The phosphorylation state of central nervous system (CNS) signaling components underlies the molecular mechanisms of a variety of physiological functions including the control of energy balance and glucose homeostasis. In this review, we summarize the current evidence implicating PTPs as central regulators of metabolism, specifically highlighting their interactions with the neuronal leptin and insulin signaling pathways. We discuss the role of a number of PTPs (PTP1B, SHP2, TCPTP, RPTPe, and PTEN), reviewing the findings from genetic mouse models and in vitro studies which highlight these phosphatases as key central regulators of energy homeostasis.

Abstract
The effects of insulin and type 1 insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) on metabolism, growth and survival are mediated by their association with specific receptor tyrosine kinases, which results in both receptor and substrate phosphorylation. Phosphotyrosine residues on receptors and substrates provide docking sites for signaling proteins containing SH2 (Src homology 2) domains, including molecular adaptors. This review focuses on the regulation of insulin/IGF-1 signaling and action by two adaptor families with a similar domain organization: the growth factor receptor-bound proteins Grb7/10/14 and the SH2B proteins. Both Grb10/14 and SH2B1/B2 associate with the activation loop of insulin/IGF-1 receptors through their SH2 domains, but association of Grb10/14 also involves their unique BPS domain. Consistent with Grb14 binding as a pseudosubstrate to the kinase active site, insulin/IGF-induced activation of receptors and downstream signaling pathways in cultured cells is inhibited by Grb10/14 adaptors, but is potentiated by SH2B1/B2 adaptors. Accordingly, Grb10 and Grb14 knockout mice show improved insulin/IGF sensitivity in vivo, and, for Grb10, overgrowth and increased skeketal muscle and pancreatic β-cell mass. Conversely, SH2B1-depleted mice display insulin and IGF-1 resistance, with peripheral depletion leading to reduced adiposity and neuronal depletion leading to obesity through associated leptin resistance. Grb10/14 and SH2B1 adaptors also modulate insulin/IGF-1 action by interacting with signaling components downstream of receptors and exert several tissue-specific effects. The identification of Grb10/14 and SH2B1 as physiological regulators of insulin signaling and action, together with observations that variants at their gene loci are associated with obesity and/or insulin resistance, highlight them as potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.

Abstract
The protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) is acknowledged as an outstanding therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes, obesity and cancer. In this work, six aryl diketoacid compounds have been studied on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations. Hydrogen bonds, binding energies and conformation changes of the WPD loop have been analyzed. The results indicated that their activation model falls into two parts: the target region of the monomeric aryl diketoacid compounds is the active site, whereas the target region of the dimeric aryl diketoacid compounds is the WPD loop or the R loop. The van der Waals interactions exhibit stronger effects than the short-range electrostatic interactions. The van der Waals interaction energy and the IC50 values exhibit an approximately exponential relationship. Furthermore, the van der Waals interactions cooperate with the hydrogen bond interactions. This study provides a more thorough understanding of the PTP-1B inhibitor binding processes.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a key pathological feature of type 2 diabetes and is characterized by defects in signaling by the insulin receptor (IR) protein tyrosine kinase. The inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that antagonize IR signaling may provide a means for enhancing the insulin response and alleviating insulin resistance. The prototypic phosphotyrosine-specific phosphatase PTP1B dephosphorylates the IR and attenuates insulin signaling in muscle and liver. Mice that are deficient for PTP1B exhibit improved glucose homeostasis in diet and genetic models of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The phosphatase TCPTP shares 72% catalytic domain sequence identity with PTP1B and has also been implicated in IR regulation. Despite their high degree of similarity, PTP1B and TCPTP act together in vitro and in vivo to regulate insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis. This review highlights their capacity to act specifically and nonredundantly in cellular signaling, describes their roles in IR regulation and glucose homeostasis, and discusses their potential as drug targets for the enhancement of IR phosphorylation and insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is implicated in the negative regulation of the insulin signalling pathway by dephosphorylating the insulin receptor (IR) and IR substrates. Ganoderma lucidum has traditionally been used for the treatment of diabetes in Chinese medicine; however, its anti-diabetic potency and mechanism in vivo is still unclear. Our previously published study reported a novel proteoglycan PTP1B inhibitor, named Fudan-Yueyang-Ganoderma lucidum (FYGL) from G. lucidum, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) value of 5·12 (sem 0·05) μg/ml, a protein:polyglycan ratio of 17:77 and 78 % glucose in polysaccharide, and dominant amino acid residues of aspartic acid, glycine, glutamic acid, alanine, serine and threonine in protein. FYGL is capable of decreasing plasma glucose in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice with a high safety of median lethal dose (LD₅₀) of 6 g/kg. In the present study, C57BL/6 db/db diabetic mice were trialed further using FYGL as well as metformin for comparison. Oral treatment with FYGL in db/db diabetic mice for 4 weeks significantly (P < 0·01 or 0·05) decreased the fasting plasma glucose level, serum insulin concentration and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. FYGL also controlled the biochemistry indices relative to type 2 diabetes-accompanied lipidaemic disorders. Pharmacology research suggests that FYGL decreases the plasma glucose level by the mechanism of inhibiting PTP1B expression and activity, consequently, regulating the tyrosine phosphorylation level of the IR β-subunit and the level of hepatic glycogen, thus resulting in the improvement of insulin sensitivity. Therefore, FYGL is promising as an insulin sensitiser for the therapy of type 2 diabetes and accompanied dyslipidaemia.

Abstract
Protein modification cycles catalysed by opposing enzymes, such as kinases and phosphatases, form the backbone of signalling networks. Although, historically, kinases have been at the research forefront, a systems-centred approach reveals predominant roles for phosphatases in controlling the network response times and spatio-temporal profiles of signalling activities. Emerging evidence suggests that phosphatase kinetics are critical for network function and cell-fate decisions. Protein phosphatases operate as both immediate and delayed regulators of signal transduction, capable of attenuating or amplifying signalling. This versatility of phosphatase action emphasizes the need for systems biology approaches to understand cellular signalling networks and predict the cellular outcomes of combinatorial drug interventions.

Abstract
The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B is a negative regulator of both insulin and leptin signaling and is involved in the control of glucose homeostasis and energy expenditure. Due to its prominent role in regulating metabolism, PTP1B is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of human obesity and type 2 diabetes. The PTP1B protein is encoded by the PTPN1 gene on human chromosome 20q13, a region that shows linkage with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity in human populations. In this paper, we summarize the genetics of the PTPN1 locus and associations with metabolic disease. In addition, we discuss the tissue-specific functions of PTP1B as gleaned from genetic mouse models.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases PTP-sigma (PTPσ) plays an important role in the development of the nervous system and nerve regeneration. Although cumulative studies about the function of PTPσ have been reported, yet limited data have been reported about the crystal structure and in vitro activity of mouse PTPσ. Here we report the crystal structure of mouse PTPσ tandem phosphatase domains at 2.4 Å resolution. Then we compared the crystal structure of mouse PTPσ with human PTPσ and found that they are very similar, superimposing with a root mean square deviation of 0.45 Å for 517 equivalent Cα atoms. But some residues in mouse PTPσ form loops while corresponding residues in human PTPσ form β-sheets or α-helices. Furthermore, we also compared in vitro activities of mouse PTPσ with human PTPσ and found that mouse PTPσ has 25-fold higher specific activity than human PTPσ does toward O-methyl fluorescein phosphate (OMFP) as the substrate. However, there is no significant activity difference between the mouse and the human enzyme detected with p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) as the substrate. Mouse PTPσ and human PTPσ have different substrate specificities toward OMFP and pNPP as substrates. This work gives clues for further study of PTPσ.

Abstract
Acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4) is implicated in fatty acid metabolism with marked preference for arachidonic acid (AA). ACSL4 plays crucial roles in physiological functions such as steroid synthesis and in pathological processes such as tumorigenesis. However, factors regulating ACSL4 mRNA and/or protein levels are not fully described. Because ACSL4 protein expression requires tyrosine phosphatase activity, in this study we aimed to identify the tyrosine phosphatase involved in ACSL4 expression. NSC87877, a specific inhibitor of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2, reduced ACSL4 protein levels in ACSL4-rich breast cancer cells and steroidogenic cells. Indeed, overexpression of an active form of SHP2 increased ACSL4 protein levels in MA-10 Leydig steroidogenic cells. SHP2 has to be activated through a cAMP-dependent pathway to exert its effect on ACSL4. The effects could be specifically attributed to SHP2 because knockdown of the phosphatase reduced ACSL4 mRNA and protein levels. Through the action on ACSL4 protein levels, SHP2 affected AA-CoA production and metabolism and, finally, the steroidogenic capacity of MA-10 cells: overexpression (or knockdown) of SHP2 led to increased (or decreased) steroid production. We describe for the first time the involvement of SHP2 activity in the regulation of the expression of the fatty acid-metabolizing enzyme ACSL4.

Abstract
Recent compelling data show that reactive oxygen species (ROS) not only are a harmful by-product of aerobic metabolism, but also are used as signaling molecules to regulate various cellular processes. In mammalian cells, ROS are produced transiently in response to many extracellular stimuli, including insulin, and specific inhibition of the ROS suppresses insulin-dependent signaling. Initially, this finding rationalized the concept of ROS acting as insulin mimetics. However, it is becoming evident that ROS are also causal to diabetes, a metabolic disorder characterized by insufficiency of secretion of, or receptor insensitivity to, endogenous insulin. This notion underlines a dual role for ROS in insulin signaling as both deleterious and beneficiary. Moreover, it strongly suggests that a delicate redox balance is required for insulin signaling to remain "healthy" for an organism.

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen-related (PTP-LAR) is a receptor-like transmembrane phosphatase and a potential target for diabetes, obesity and cancer. In the present study, a sequence of in silico strategies (pharmacophore mapping, a 3D database searching, SADMET screening, and docking and toxicity studies) was performed to identify eight novel nontoxic PTP-LAR inhibitors. Twenty different pharmacophore hypotheses were generated using two methods; the best (hypothesis 2) consisted of three hydrogen-bond acceptor (A), one ring aromatic (R), and one hydrophobic aliphatic (Z) features. This hypothesis was used to screen molecules from several databases, such as Specs, IBS, MiniMaybridge, NCI, and an in-house PTP inhibitor database. In order to overcome the general bioavailability problem associated with phosphatases, the hits obtained were filtered by Lipinski's rule of five and SADMET properties and validated by molecular docking studies using the available crystal structure 1LAR. These docking studies suggested the ligand binding pattern and interactions required for LAR inhibition. The docking analysis also revealed that sulfonylurea derivatives with an isoquinoline or naphthalene scaffold represent potential LAR drugs. The screening protocol was further validated using ligand pharmacophore mapping studies, which showed that the abovementioned interactions are indeed crucial and that the screened molecules can be presumed to possess potent inhibitory activities.

Abstract
In the course of our program to search for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTPB) inhibitors, five new 5-deoxyflavonoids along with eight known derivatives were isolated from EtOAc layer of the root bark of Erythrina abyssinica. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic (IR, UV, MS, CD, 1D- and 2D-NMR) and physicochemical analyses. All isolates exhibited moderate inhibitory effects on the enzyme assay with IC₅₀ values ranging from 14.9 ± 1.6 to 98.1 ± 11.3 μM. Compounds with prenyl and methoxy groups in the B ring (1, 2, 4, 8, and 13) possessed strong activity (IC(50) 14.9 ± 1.6 to 19.2 ± 1.1 μM), while compounds (3, 5, and 9) with 2,2-dimethylpyrano ring showed less inhibitory effect (IC₅₀ 22.6 ± 2.3 to 72.9 ± 9.7 μM). These results suggest that prenyl and methoxy groups may be responsible for the increase on the activity of 5-deoxyflavonoids against PTP1B, but the presence of 2,2-dimethylpyrano ring on the B ring may be induced the decrease of PTP1B inhibitory activity.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY The present study was designed to investigate the effects of the EtOH and H(2)O extracts of Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring on hyperglycemia in diabetic rats and HepG2 cells, and to confirm the active fractions of EtOH extract in HepG2 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS HepG2 cells and type II diabetic rats induced by low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) and high-fat diet (HFD) were used to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of EtOH and H(2)O extracts of Selaginella tamariscina. HepG2 cells were used to evaluate the promotive effect of different fractions of EtOH extract obtained from a polyamide column on glucose utilization. RESULTS The results in HepG2 cells indicated that the EtOH extract had a better hypoglycemic effect than the H(2)O extract. The results in diabetic rats indicated that both EtOH extract and H(2)O extract were able to ameliorate the fasting blood glucose (FBG) level and improve oral glucose tolerance (OGTT). Total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), free fatty acids (FFA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in serum were lowered. High density lipoprotein (HDL-c), insulin and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in serum were elevated as well as the hepatic glycogen content in diabetic rats. Compared with H(2)O extract, the effects of EtOH extract were more marked. The 80% ethanol fraction exhibited a stronger hypoglycemic effect than the aqueous and 50% ethanol fractions, but the 95% ethanol fraction did not show any appreciable effects in HepG2 cells. CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that the EtOH extract had a better hypoglycemic effect than the H(2)O extract; the 80% ethanol fraction from polyamide column had a strong hypoglycemic activity in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase-interacting protein 51 (PTPIP51) and its interaction with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and 14-3-3β in mice exhibiting insulin resistance and obesity. DESIGN A total of 20 mice were included in the study. Eight control animals were fed a normal standard diet, six animals were fed a high-fat diet and six animals were submitted to a treadmill training parallel to the feeding of a high-fat diet. After 10 weeks, a glucose tolerance test was performed and abdominal adipose tissue samples of the animals were collected. RESULTS PTPIP51 protein was identified in the adipocytes of all samples. PTPIP51 interacted with PTP1B and with 14-3-3β protein. Compared with untrained mice fed a standard diet, the interaction of PTPIP51 with PTP1B was reduced in high-fat diet-fed animals. The highest interaction of PTPIP51 with 14-3-3β was seen in trained animals on high-fat diet, whereas untrained animals on high-fat diet displayed lowest values. CONCLUSION PTPIP51 is expressed in adipose tissue of humans, rats and mice. Obesity with enhanced insulin resistance resulted in a reduction of PTPIP51 levels in adipocytes and influenced the interactions with PTP1B and 14-3-3β. The interaction of PTPIP51 with PTP1B suggests a regulatory function of PTPIP51 in insulin receptor signal transduction. The interaction of PTPIP51 with 14-3-3β, especially in trained individuals, hints to an involvement of PTPIP51 in the downstream regulation of insulin action.

Abstract
During the screening effort to discover new types of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors, it was found that a MeOH extract of the leaves and stems of Weigela subsessilis (Caprifoliaceae) inhibited the enzyme activity. By means of an in vitro bioassay-guided fractionation on the MeOH extract, two 24-norursane triterpenes, ilekudinol A (1) and ilekudinol B (2), were isolated as active metabolites. Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited PTP1B with IC(50) values of 29.1 ± 2.8 and 5.3 ± 0.5 μM, respectively. Kinetic studies suggest that both 1 and 2 are non-competitive inhibitors of PTP1B. The findings indicate that the free carboxyl group at C-28 in this type of triterpenes plays a critical role in the inhibition of PTP1B.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the function of the Prep1 gene in insulin-dependent glucose homeostasis in liver. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Prep1 action on insulin glucoregulatory function has been analyzed in liver of Prep1-hypomorphic mice (Prep1(i/i)), which express 2-3% of Prep1 mRNA. RESULTS Based on euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp studies and measurement of glycogen content, livers from Prep1(i/i) mice feature increased sensitivity to insulin. Tyrosine phosphorylation of both insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)1/2 was significantly enhanced in Prep1(i/i) livers accompanied by a specific downregulation of the SYP and SHP1 tyrosine phosphatases. Prep1 overexpression in HepG2 liver cells upregulated SYP and SHP1 and inhibited insulin-induced IR and IRS1/2 phosphorylation and was accompanied by reduced glycogen content. Consistently, overexpression of the Prep1 partner Pbx1, but not of p160MBP, mimicked Prep1 effects on tyrosine phosphorylations, glycogen content, and on SYP and SHP1 expression. In Prep1 overexpressing cells, antisense silencing of SHP1, but not that of SYP, rescued insulin-dependent IR phosphorylation and glycogen accumulation. Both Prep1 and Pbx1 bind SHP1 promoter at a site located between nucleotides -2,113 and -1,778. This fragment features enhancer activity and induces luciferase function by 7-, 6-, and 30-fold, respectively, in response to Prep1, Pbx1, or both. CONCLUSIONS SHP1, a known silencer of insulin signal, is a transcriptional target of Prep1. In liver, transcriptional activation of SHP1 gene by Prep1 attenuates insulin signal transduction and reduces glucose storage.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of intensity of exercise on insulin resistance and the expression of inflammatory proteins in the skeletal muscle of diet-induced obese (DIO) rats after a single bout of exercise. METHODS In the first exercise protocol, the rats swam for two 3-h bouts, separated by a 45-min rest period (with 6 h in duration--O + EXE), and in the second protocol, the rats were exercised with 45 min of swimming at 70% of the maximal lactate steady state--SS (DIO + MLSS). RESULTS Our data demonstrated that both protocols of exercise increased insulin sensitivity and increased insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate 1 and serine phosphorylation of protein kinase B in the muscle of DIO rats by the same magnitude. In parallel, both exercise protocols also reduced protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B activity and insulin receptor substrate 1 serine phosphorylation, with concomitant reduction in c-jun N-terminal kinase and IJB kinase activities in the muscle of DIO rats in a similar fashion. CONCLUSIONS Thus, our data demonstrate that either exercise protocols with low intensity and high volume or exercise with moderate intensity and low volume represents different strategies to restore insulin sensitivity with the same efficacy.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is an underlying mechanism of type 2 diabetes and its vascular complications. Recent evidence suggests that crosstalk between angiotensin II (Ang II) and the insulin signaling in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) may contribute to cellular insulin resistance. We hypothesized that Ang II inhibits the anti-mitogenic pathways while enhancing the mitogenic pathways stimulated by insulin via activation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B) in VSMC. We found that Ang II significantly inhibited insulin-induced phosphorylation of tyrosine 608 of IRS-1 and serine 473 of Akt, a downstream member of anti-mitogenic pathway of insulin. In contrast, Ang II increased the serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 which was not affected by the presence of insulin. Activation of p42/p44 MAPK (a mitogenic pathway) induced by insulin was further enhanced by Ang II. Transfection of VSMC with PTP-1B antisense oligonucleotide markedly reduced the effects of Ang II on insulin signaling. Furthermore, an increase in VSMC growth was attenuated by PTP-1B antisense only in the presence of both Ang II and insulin. Finally, we also showed that Ang II-induced activation of PTP-1B in VSMC was PKA/JAK2 dependent. We conclude that Ang II modulates both anti-mitogenic and mitogenic pathways of insulin via the activation of PTP-1B.

Abstract
The insulin resistance associated with aging is improved by exercise, but the molecular mechanisms of this improvement are not fully understood. We investigated whether the improvement in insulin action, associated with acute exercise in old rats is dependent on the modulation of pIRS-1Ser307, JNK, IkBalpha and PTP-1B. Aging rats were subjected to swimming for two 1.5-h long bouts, separated by a 45min rest period. Sixteen hours after the exercise, the rats were killed and proteins from the insulin signaling pathway were analyzed by immunoblotting. Our results show that the reduction in glucose disappearance rate (Kitt), observed in aged rats, was restored at 16h after exercise. Aging led to an increase in Ser307 phosphorylation of IRS-1, and this was reversed by exercise in the skeletal muscle, in parallel with a reduction in pJNK and IkBalpha degradation. Moreover, aging induced an increase in the expression of PTP-1B and attenuated insulin signaling in the muscle of rats, a phenomenon that was reversed by exercise. Interestingly, the decrease in PTP-1B expression in the muscle of exercised old rats was accompanied by an increase in SIRT1 expression. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms by which exercise restores insulin sensitivity during aging.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) appears to be an attractive target for the development of new drugs for type 2 diabetes and obesity. In our preliminary test, a MeOH extract of the stem barks of Sorbus commixta Hedl. (Rosaceae) showed strong PTP1B inhibitory activity. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract resulted in the isolation of two lupane-type triterpenes, lupenone (1) and lupeol (2). Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited PTP1B with IC(50) values of 13.7 +/- 2.1 and 5.6 +/- 0.9 microM, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed that both the compounds 1 and 2 are non-competitive inhibitors of PTP1B that decrease V(max) values with no effect on K(m) values.

Abstract
NO synthesis is a prerequisite for proper insulin sensitivity in insulin-targeted tissues; however, the molecular basis for this process remains unclear. Using a gain-of-function model of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS)-transfected COS-7 cells, we have shown a critical role of NO in insulin responsiveness, as evidenced by an NO-dependent increase of tyrosine phosphorylation levels of the insulin receptor and its downstream effectors insulin receptor substrate-1 and PKB/AKT. We hypothesized that NO-induced inactivation of endogenous protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) would enhance insulin receptor-mediated signaling. To test this hypothesis, we devised a new method of the PTP labeling using a cysteine sulfhydryl-reacted probe. Under the acidic conditions employed in this study, the probe recognized the reduced and active forms but not the S-nitrosylated and inactive forms of endogenous PTPs. Our data suggest that phosphatases SHP-1, SHP-2, and PTP1B, but not TC-PTP, are likely S-nitrosylated at the active site cysteine residue concomitantly with a burst of NO production in signaling response to insulin stimulation. These results were further confirmed by phosphatase activity assays. We investigated further the role of NO as a regulator of insulin signaling by RNA interference that ablates endogenous eNOS expression in endothelial MS-1 cells. We have shown that eNOS-dependent NO production is essential for the activation of insulin signaling. Our findings demonstrate that NO mediates enhancement of insulin responsiveness via the inhibition of insulin receptor phosphatases.

Abstract
The balance of cellular energy levels in response to changes of nutrient availability, stress stimuli or exercise is a critical step in maintaining tissue and whole body homeostasis. Disruption of this balance is associated with various pathologies, including the metabolic syndrome. Recently, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a central role in sensing changes in energy levels. The regulation of AMPK activity is currently the subject of significant investigation since this enzyme is a potential therapeutic target in both metabolic disorders and tumorigenesis. In this review, we present novel evidence of crosstalk between Fyn, one member of the Src kinase family, and AMPK.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was considered as a potential therapeutic target of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) because of its negative regulation of insulin signaling. It located on the cytosolic surface of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and played an essential role in the ER stress signaling. Activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) was an ER stress regulated transmembrane transcription factor that activated the transcription of ER molecular chaperones. We hypothesized that the expression of PTP1B may be regulated by ATF6 when ER stress happened. Our previous studies showed that Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) increased the insulin sensitivity through decreasing the overexpression of PTP1B in T2DM animal models. In this study, we intended to investigate the possible mechanisms involved in this effect. A rat model of T2DM was established using high fat diet associated with intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg/kg streptozocin; 25 mmol/l D-glucose and 5x10(-7) mol/l insulin were used as in vitro investigations to mimic T2DM-like environment. 4-(2-Aminoethyl) benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride (AEBSF) and pCI-Flag-ATF6(N)(2-366) plasmid were treated separately on human hepatocyte line HL-7702 to observe the effect of ATF6 on the expression of PTP1B. The results suggested that APS not only restored the glucose homeostasis but also reduced the ER stress in this rat model of T2DM; ATF6 was involved in mediating the expression of PTP1B when ER stress happened; APS decreased the expression of PTP1B at least partly through inhibiting the activation of ATF6.

Abstract
Background The insulin receptor is localized in caveolae and is dependent on caveolae or cholesterol for signaling in adipocytes. When stimulated with insulin, the receptor is internalized. Methodology/Principal Findings We examined primary rat adipocytes by subcellular fractionation to examine if the insulin receptor was internalized in a caveolae-mediated process. Insulin induced a rapid, t1/2<3 min, endocytosis of the insulin receptor in parallel with receptor tyrosine autophosphorylation. Concomitantly, caveolin-1 was phosphorylated at tyrosine(14) and endocytosed. Vanadate increased the phosphorylation of caveolin-1 without affecting insulin receptor phosphorylation or endocytosis. Immunocapture of endosomal vesicles with antibodies against the insulin receptor co-captured caveolin-1 and immunocapture with antibodies against tyrosine(14)-phosphorylated caveolin-1 co-captured the insulin receptor, demonstrating that the insulin receptor was endocytosed together with tyrosine(14)-phosphorylated caveolin-1. By immunogold electron microscopy the insulin receptor and caveolin-1 were colocalized in endosome vesicles that resembled caveosomes. Clathrin was not endocytosed with the insulin receptor and the inhibitor of clathrin-coated pit-mediated endocytosis, chlorpromazine, did not inhibit internalization of the insulin receptor, while transferrin receptor internalization was inhibited. Conclusion It is concluded that in response to insulin stimulation the autophosphorylated insulin receptor in primary adipocytes is rapidly endocytosed in a caveolae-mediated process, involving tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1.

Abstract
Growth factor receptor bound (Grb)10 and Grb14 are closely related adaptor proteins that bind directly to the insulin receptor (IR) and regulate insulin-induced IR tyrosine phosphorylation and signaling to IRS-1 and Akt. Grb10- and Grb14-deficient mice both exhibit improved whole-body glucose homeostasis as a consequence of enhanced insulin signaling and, in the case of the former, altered body composition. However, the combined physiological role of these adaptors has remained undefined. In this study we utilize compound gene knockout mice to demonstrate that although deficiency in one adaptor can enhance insulin-induced IRS-1 phosphorylation and Akt activation, insulin signaling is not increased further upon dual ablation of Grb10 and Grb14. Context-dependent limiting mechanisms appear to include IR hypophosphorylation and decreased IRS-1 expression. In addition, the compound knockouts exhibit an increase in lean mass comparable to Grb10-deficient mice, indicating that this reflects a regulatory function specific to Grb10. However, despite the absence of additive effects on insulin signaling and body composition, the double-knockout mice are protected from the impaired glucose tolerance that results from high-fat feeding, whereas protection is not observed with animals deficient for individual adaptors. These results indicate that, in addition to their described effects on IRS-1/Akt, Grb10 and Grb14 may regulate whole-body glucose homeostasis by additional mechanisms and highlight these adaptors as potential therapeutic targets for amelioration of the insulin resistance associated with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Grb14 belongs to the Grb7 family of molecular adapters and was identified as an inhibitor of insulin signaling. Grb14 binds to activated insulin receptors (IR) and inhibits their catalytic activity. To gain more insight into the Grb14 molecular mechanism of action, we generated various mutants and studied the Grb14-IR interaction using coimmunoprecipitation and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) experiments. Biological activity was further analyzed using the Xenopus oocyte model and a functional complementation assay measuring cellular proliferation rate in Grb14 knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts. These studies identified two important interaction sites, Grb14 L404-IR L1038 and Grb14 R385-IR K1168, involving the IR alphaC-helix and activation loop, respectively. Interestingly, the former involves residues that are likely to be crucial for the specificity of IR binding with regard to other members of the Grb7 family. In addition, mutation of the Grb14-S370 residue suggested that its phosphorylation status controlled the biological activity of the protein. We further demonstrated that insulin-induced Grb14-PDK1 interaction is required in addition to Grb14-IR binding to mediate maximal inhibition of insulin signaling. This study provides important insights into the molecular determinants of Grb14 action by demonstrating that Grb14 regulates insulin action at two levels, through IR binding and by interfering with downstream pathways. Indeed, a precise knowledge of the molecular mechanism of insulin signaling inhibition by Grb14 is a prerequisite for the development of insulin-sensitizing molecules to treat pathophysiological states such as obesity or type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Crosstalk mechanisms have not been studied as thoroughly as individual signaling pathways. We exploit experimental and computational approaches to reveal how a concordant interplay between the insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling networks can potentiate mitogenic signaling. In HEK293 cells, insulin is a poor activator of the Ras/ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) cascade, yet it enhances ERK activation by low EGF doses. We find that major crosstalk mechanisms that amplify ERK signaling are localized upstream of Ras and at the Ras/Raf level. Computational modeling unveils how critical network nodes, the adaptor proteins GAB1 and insulin receptor substrate (IRS), Src kinase, and phosphatase SHP2, convert insulin-induced increase in the phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3) concentration into enhanced Ras/ERK activity. The model predicts and experiments confirm that insulin-induced amplification of mitogenic signaling is abolished by disrupting PIP3-mediated positive feedback via GAB1 and IRS. We demonstrate that GAB1 behaves as a non-linear amplifier of mitogenic responses and insulin endows EGF signaling with robustness to GAB1 suppression. Our results show the feasibility of using computational models to identify key target combinations and predict complex cellular responses to a mixture of external cues.

Abstract
Five pentacyclic triterpenoids (1-5) and a sterol (6) were isolated from the stem-bark of Styrax japonica. The six compounds, 1-6, were determined to be 3beta-acetoxy-28-hydroxyolean-12-ene (1), 3beta-acetoxyolean-12-en-28-acid (2), 3beta-acetoxyolean-12-en-28-aldehyde (3), 3beta-acetoxy-17beta-hydroxy-28-norolean-12-ene (4), taraxerol (5) and stigmasterol (6), respectively, by spectroscopic means, including the 2D-NMR technique. Compound 4 is a newly discovered natural compound. The protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activities of the isolated compounds (1-6) were determined in vitro. Among the isolated compounds, 3beta-acetoxyolean-12-en-28-acid (2) and 3beta-acetoxyolean-12-en-28-aldehyde (3) had the most potent inhibitory PTP1B activity, with IC50 values of 7.8 and 9.3 microm, respectively.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a highly specific negative regulator of insulin receptor signaling in vivo. The determinants of PTP1B specificity for the insulin receptor versus other receptor tyrosine kinases are largely unknown. Here, we report a crystal structure at 2.3 A resolution of the catalytic domain of PTP1B (trapping mutant) in complex with the phosphorylated tyrosine kinase domain of the insulin receptor (IRK). The crystallographic asymmetric unit contains two PTP1B-IRK complexes that interact through an IRK dimer interface. Rather than binding to a phosphotyrosine in the IRK activation loop, PTP1B binds instead to the opposite side of the kinase domain, with the phosphorylated activation loops sequestered within the IRK dimer. The crystal structure provides evidence for a noncatalytic mode of interaction between PTP1B and IRK, which could be important for the selective recruitment of PTP1B to the insulin receptor.

Abstract
There is a rapid increase in the world-wide burden of disease attributed to metabolic syndrome, as defined by co-occurrence of an array of phenotypes including abdominal obesity, dysglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and hypertension. Familial studies clearly indicate a genetic component to the disease and many linkage studies have identified a large number of linked loci. No disease-causing genes, however, have been conclusively identified, most likely because this is a multigenic disease for which effects of many causative genes may be small and combined with environmental effects. To assist empirical identification of metabolic syndrome associated genes, we present here a novel computational approach to prioritize candidate genes. We have used linkage studies and the clinical and population-specific presentation of the disease to select a final candidate gene list of 19 most likely disease-causing genes. These are predominantly involved in chylomicron processing, transmembrane receptor activity, and signal transduction pathways. We propose here that information about the clinical presentation of a complex trait can be used to effectively inform computational prioritization of disease-causing genes for that trait.

Abstract
Glucose flux through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway leads to the post-translational modification of cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins by O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc). This tandem system serves as a nutrient sensor to couple systemic metabolic status to cellular regulation of signal transduction, transcription, and protein degradation. Here we show that O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) harbours a previously unrecognized type of phosphoinositide-binding domain. After induction with insulin, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate recruits OGT from the nucleus to the plasma membrane, where the enzyme catalyses dynamic modification of the insulin signalling pathway by O-GlcNAc. This results in the alteration in phosphorylation of key signalling molecules and the attenuation of insulin signal transduction. Hepatic overexpression of OGT impairs the expression of insulin-responsive genes and causes insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia. These findings identify a molecular mechanism by which nutritional cues regulate insulin signalling through O-GlcNAc, and underscore the contribution of this modification to the aetiology of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a hallmark of late pregnancy both in human and rat. Adipose tissue is one of the tissues that most actively contributes to this reduced insulin sensitivity. The aim of the present study was to characterize the molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance in adipose tissue at late pregnancy. To this end, we analyzed the insulin signaling cascade in lumbar adipose tissue of nonpregnant and pregnant (d 20) rats both under basal and insulin-stimulated conditions. We found that the levels of relevant signaling proteins, such as insulin receptor (IR), IR substrate-1 (IRS-1), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1, ERK1/2, and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) did not change at late pregnancy. However, insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of both IR and IRS-1 were significantly decreased, coincident with decreased IRS-1/p85 association and impaired phosphorylation of AKR mouse thymoma viral protooncogene (Akt) and ERK1/2. This impaired activation of IRS-1 occurred together with an increase of IRS-1 phosphorylation at serine 307 and a decrease in adiponectin levels. To corroborate the role of IRS-1 in adipose tissue insulin resistance during pregnancy, we treated pregnant rats with the antidiabetic drug englitazone. Englitazone improved glucose tolerance, and this pharmacological reversal of insulin resistance was paralleled by an increase of adiponectin levels in adipose tissue as well as by a reduction of IRS-1 serine phosphorylation. Furthermore, the impaired insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 in adipose tissue of pregnant animals could be restored ex vivo by treating isolated adipocytes with adiponectin. Together, our findings support a role for adiponectin and serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 in the modulation of insulin resistance in adipose tissue at late pregnancy.

Abstract
The global epidemic of obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has highlighted the need for new therapeutic approaches. The association of insulin resistance with these disorders and the knowledge that insulin receptor signaling is mediated by tyrosine (Tyr) phosphorylation have generated great interest in the regulation of the balance between Tyr phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Several protein Tyr phosphatases (PTPs) have been implicated in the regulation of insulin action, with the most convincing data for PTP1B. Murine models targeting PTP1B, PTP1B(-/-)mice, demonstrate enhanced insulin sensitivity without the weight gain seen with other insulin sensitizers such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists, probably due to a second action of PTP1B as a negative regulator of leptin signaling. Despite intensive efforts and recent progress, a safe, selective and efficacious PTP1B inhibitor has yet to be identified.

Abstract
Insulin controls carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Among other things, it stimulates glucose storage as glycogen and lipid storage as triglycerides. Insulin acts through a membrane receptor which is a tyrosine kinase. When activated by insulin binding, the tyrosine kinase will recruit and phosphorylate intracellular substrates called IRS (insulin receptor substrate). Phosphorylated IRS will be used as docking sites for proteins which will transmit the insulin signal through several systems (e.g. PI3-kinase). The insulin resistance which is concomitant with type 2 diabetes and obesity is linked to an increased intracellular availability of fatty acids which are precursors of lipid mediators inducing a decreased efficiency of insulin signal transmission. Therapies aimed at improving insulin sensitivity could then target proteins involved in the regulation of intacellular fatty acid availibility.

Abstract
The regulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation of key signaling molecules by tyrosine kinases and phosphatases is essential for BCR-triggered signaling cascades during B cell selection process. We used the non-selective tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor vanadate to study the importance of the late regulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation for BCR-triggered G1 growth arrest and apoptosis in Ramos-BL B cells. Vanadate induces G2M growth arrest in a dose-dependent manner and prevents BCR-triggered apoptosis. Vanadate-induced upregulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation is concomitant with increased expression of cyclin B and inhibition of caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage. The anti-apoptotic effect of vanadate was observed even when added up to 6 hours after the treatment of Ramos-BL B cells with anti-IgM. Vanadate increases BCR-triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of the cytosolic tyrosine phosphatases, SHP-1 and SHP-2 after 24 hours. Co-stimulation with anti-CD40 prevents anti-IgM-triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of these phosphatases and up-regulates the expression of SHP-1. We conclude that the regulation of the tyrosine phosphatase activity is indispensable for BCR-triggered execution of the apoptosis in Ramos-BL B cells.

Abstract
The Grb10 adapter protein is capable of interacting with a variety of receptor tyrosine kinases, including, notably, the insulin receptor. Biochemical and cell culture experiments have indicated that Grb10 might act as an inhibitor of insulin signaling. We have used mice with a disruption of the Grb10 gene (Grb10Delta2-4 mice) to assess whether Grb10 might influence insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis in vivo. Adult Grb10Delta2-4 mice were found to have improved whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, as well as increased muscle mass and reduced adiposity. Tissue-specific changes in insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation were consistent with a model in which Grb10, like the closely related Grb14 adapter protein, prevents specific protein tyrosine phosphatases from accessing phosphorylated tyrosines within the kinase activation loop. Furthermore, insulin-induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation was enhanced in Grb10Delta2-4 mutant animals, supporting a role for Grb10 in attenuation of signal transmission from the insulin receptor to IRS-1. We have previously shown that Grb10 strongly influences growth of the fetus and placenta. Thus, Grb10 forms a link between fetal growth and glucose-regulated metabolism in postnatal life and is a candidate for involvement in the process of fetal programming of adult metabolic health.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is considered as a therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. In our preliminary screening study, a MeOH extract of the aerial part of Siegesbeckia glabrescens was found to inhibit PTP1B activity at 30 microg/mL. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of two active diterpenes, ent-16betaH, 17-isobutyryloxy-kauran-19-oic acid (1) and ent-16betaH, 17-acetoxy-18-isobutyryloxy-kauran-19-oic acid (2), along with ent- 16betaH, 17-hydroxykauran-19-oic acid (3). Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited the PTP1B activity with IC50 values of 8.7 +/- 0.9 and 30.6 +/- 2.1 microM, respectively. Kinetic studies suggest that both 1 and 2 are non-competitive inhibitors of PTP1B. However, compound 3 substituted with a hydroxyl group at C-17 in kaurane-type showed no inhibitory effects towards PTP1B.

Abstract
Lifestyle interventions including exercise programmes are cornerstones in the prevention of obesity-related diabetes. In this study, we demonstrate that a single bout of exercise inhibits high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance. Diet-induced obesity (DIO) increased the expression and activity of the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and attenuated insulin signalling in gastrocnemius muscle of rats, a phenomenon which was reversed by a single session of exercise. In addition, DIO was observed to lead to serine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), which was also reversed by exercise in muscle in parallel with a reduction in c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity. Thus, acute exercise increased the insulin sensitivity during high-fat feeding in obese rats. Overall, these results provide new insights into the mechanism by which exercise restores insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Endogenous factors, including hormones, growth factors and cytokines, play an important role in the regulation of hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme expression in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Diabetes, fasting, obesity, protein-calorie malnutrition and long-term alcohol consumption produce changes in hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression. This difference in expression alters the metabolism of xenobiotics, including procarcinogens, carcinogens, toxicants and therapeutic agents, potentially impacting the efficacy and safety of therapeutic agents, and/or resulting in drug-drug interactions. Although the mechanisms by which xenobiotics regulate drug metabolizing enzymes have been studied intensively, less is known regarding the cellular signaling pathways and components which regulate drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression in response to hormones and cytokines. Recent findings, however, have revealed that several cellular signaling pathways are involved in hormone- and growth factor-mediated regulation of drug metabolizing enzymes. Our laboratory has reported that insulin and growth factors regulate drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression, including cytochromes P450 (CYP), glutathione S-transferases (GST) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), through receptors which are members of the large receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, and by downstream effectors such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), Akt/protein kinase B (PKB), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and the p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6 kinase). Here, we review current knowledge of the signaling pathways implicated in regulation of drug metabolizing enzyme gene and protein expression in response to insulin and growth factors, with the goal of increasing our understanding of how disease affects these signaling pathways, components, and ultimately gene expression and translational control.

Abstract
Reversible phosphorylation of tyrosine residues is a key regulatory mechanism for numerous cellular events. Protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have a pivotal role in regulating both normal cell physiology and pathophysiology. Accordingly, deregulated activity of both protein tyrosine kinases and PTPs is involved in the development of numerous congenitically inherited and acquired human diseases, prompting obvious pharmaceutical and academic research interest. The development of compound libraries with higher selective PTP inhibitory activity has been bolstered by the realization that many natural products have such activity and thus are interesting biologically lead compounds, which properties are widely exploited. In addition, more rational approaches have focused on the incorporation of phosphotyrosine mimetics into specific peptide templates (peptidomimetic backbones). Additional factors furthering discovery as well as therapeutic application of new bioactive molecules are the integration of functional genomics, cell biology, structural biology, drug design, molecular screening and chemical diversity. Together, all these factors will lead to new avenues to treat clinical disease based on PTP inhibition.

Abstract
Modification of protein cysteine residues by disulfide formation with glutathione (glutathionylation) is a reversible posttranslational modification of critical importance in controlling cell signaling events following oxidative and/or nitrosative stress. Here, we show that human sulfiredoxin, a small redox protein conserved in eukaryotes, can act as a novel regulator of the redox-activated thiol switch in cells by catalyzing deglutathionylation of a number of distinct proteins in response to oxidative and/or nitrosative stress. Actin and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B were identified in vitro as targets of sulfiredoxin 1 (Srx1)-dependent deglutathionylation and confirmed in vivo by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis. In addition, we show that Srx1-dependent deglutathionylation is functionally relevant through restoration of phosphatase activity. Human sulfiredoxin contains one cysteine residue (Cys(99)) that is conserved in all family members. Mutation of the cysteine residue inhibits deglutathionylation but did not affect its capacity to bind intracellular proteins. Furthermore, sulfiredoxin is not an acceptor molecule for the GS(-) moiety during the reaction process. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, we identified multiple protein targets in vivo that are deglutathionylated by sulfiredoxin following oxidative and/or nitrosative stress. This novel deglutathionylation function of sulfiredoxin suggests it has a central role in redox control with potential implications in cell signaling.

Abstract
During the last 5 years it has been well established that photoperiod-induced changes in body weight in the seasonal hamster, Phodopus sungorus, are accompanied by a marked seasonal cycle in leptin sensitivity. In the present study, we investigated the possible involvement of insulin signaling in seasonal body weight regulation. We analyzed the expression pattern and relative intensity of insulin receptor (IR), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) mRNAs by in situ hybridization in the brains of juvenile female hamsters acclimated to either long- (LD) or short-day length (SD) for 8 wk, with or without superimposed food deprivation for 48 h. Furthermore, the hypothalamic concentration and distribution of phospho-AKT, a marker of PI3-kinase activity was determined by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Eight weeks of acclimation to SD led to a substantial downregulation of IR, PTP1B gene expression, and phospho-AKT concentration in this brain region, whereas PI3-kinase mRNA was unchanged. Food deprivation induced a decrease in PTP1B and a trend toward lowered IR gene expression in LD but not in SD. Additionally, a striking increase in PTP1B gene expression in the thalamus was observed after food deprivation in both photoperiods. The direction of change in neuronal insulin signaling contrasts to the central catabolic nature of this pathway described in other species. SD-induced reduction in insulin signaling may be due to decline in body fat stores mediated by enhanced central leptin sensitivity. Increased anorexigenic tone of leptin may overwrite central insulin signaling to prevent catabolic overdrive.
