  • Skeletal muscle of obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    Recently, abnormalities in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. In the present study, we hypothesized that decreased expression of OXPHOS genes could be of similar importance for insulin re…

  • Liver-specific knockdown of JNK1 in diet-induced obese mice

    Mus musculus Mus musculus | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) have been implicated in the development of insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity. This study analyzes the effect of liver-specific knockdown of JNK1.
