Beta-cell adaptation to metabolic stresses requires prolactin receptor signaling
2024-01-23
Abstract excerpt
The role of prolactin receptor (PRLR) signaling in β-cell adaptation to maternal insulin resistance of pregnancy has been well demonstrated. Using transgenic mice with an inducible β-cell-specific Prlr deletion (βPrlr -/- ), we found that intact PRLR, as found in βPrlr +/+ mice, were protected from developing glucose intolerance during pregnancy, and the main mechanism responsible for this PRLR-mediated effect i...
