Protein kinase D2 modulates hepatic insulin sensitivity in male mice

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Protein kinase D (PKD) family is emerging as relevant regulator of metabolic homeostasis. However, the precise role of PKD2 in modulating hepatic insulin signaling has not been fully elucidated and it is the aim of this study. METHODS: mice were fed a chow (CHD) or high fat diet (HFD) and glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism were investigated. RESULTS: mice, similar steatosis grade was found in both genotypes. CONCLUSIONS: Results herein have unveiled an unknown role of PKD2 in the control of insulin signaling in the liver at the level of IRS1 and point PKD2 as a therapeutic target for hepatic insulin resistance.
