Multi-layered epigenetic regulation of IRS2 expression in the liver of obese individuals with type 2 diabetes
24 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Aims/hypothesis IRS2 is an important molecular switch that mediates insulin signalling in the liver. IRS2 dysregulation is responsible for the phenomenon of selective insulin resistance that is observed in type 2 diabetes. We hypothesise that epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the regulation of IRS2 in the liver of obese and type 2 diabetic individuals. Methods DNA methylation of seven CpG sites was...
