Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C-θ (PKC-θ) is a lipid-sensitive molecule associated with lipid-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Rodent models have not cohesively supported that PKC-θ impairs insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to generate mice that lack PKC-θ in skeletal muscle and determine how lipid accumulation and insulin responsiveness are affected in that tissue. Mice...
