Hepatic protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor gamma links obesity-induced inflammation to insulin resistance

During obesity, chronic inflammation leads to insulin resistance and diabetes. Here, Brenachot et al. show that Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Gamma is upregulated in obesity by inflammatory signals and correlates with insulin resistance in humans. Its deletion in mouse models of obesity and...

Description
Summary:During obesity, chronic inflammation leads to insulin resistance and diabetes. Here, Brenachot et al. show that Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Gamma is upregulated in obesity by inflammatory signals and correlates with insulin resistance in humans. Its deletion in mouse models of obesity and inflammation ameliorates insulin resistance by suppressing glucose production.
