Prostaglandin EP3 Receptor signaling is required to prevent insulin hypersecretion and metabolic dysfunction in a non-obese mouse model of insulin resistance
2019-06-14
Abstract excerpt
When homozygous for the Leptin Ob mutation (Ob), Black-and-Tan Brachyury (BTBR) mice become morbidly obese and severely insulin resistant, and by 10 weeks of age, frankly diabetic. Previous work has shown Prostaglandin EP3 Receptor (EP3) expression and activity is up-regulated in islets from BTBR-Ob mice as compared to lean controls, actively contributing to their beta-cell dysfunction. In this work, we aimed to...
