Insulin integrates hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, directing nutrients to storage as glycogen and triglyceride. In type 2 diabetes, levels of the former are low and the latter are exaggerated, posing a pathophysiologic and therapeutic conundrum. A branching model1 of insulin signaling, with Fo...

Pancreatic b-cell failure in type 2 diabetes is associated with functional abnormalities of insulin secretion and deficits of b-cell mass. It’s unclear how one begets the other. We have shown that loss of b-cell mass can be ascribed to impaired FoxO1 function in different models of diabetes. Here we...

Hypothalamic neurons expressing Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) are critical for initiating food intake, but druggable biochemical pathways that control this response remain elusive. Thus, genetic ablation of insulin or leptin signaling in AgRP neurons is predicted to reduce satiety but fails to do so...
