Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Glucose homeostasis is achieved by triggering regulation of glycogen synthesis genes in response to insulin when mammals feed, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. The aim of our study was to examine the role of the signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) in insulin signaling. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We generated a strain of mice carrying a targeted...
