1 15010337 Thus a physiological concentration of insulin stimulated Akt-1 and Akt-2 phosphorylation in human skeletal muscle in the absence of hyperglycemia, but Akt-2 expression and stimulation appeared to be impaired in muscle of obese patients with atypical diabetes presenting with severe hyperglycemia.
2 17028898 In these subjects, phosphorylation of PKBalpha and PKBbeta was increased to near-maximal levels at submaximal insulin concentrations.
3 17599861 Insulin-activated signaling pathways and pattern of Akt-1 and Akt-2 expression and insulin-stimulated phosphorylation were analyzed in skeletal muscle biopsy specimens.
4 18768676 The AKT2 gene was chosen as a candidate for PCOS because its product affects glucose metabolism and mitogenic signaling, interacts with GSK3beta, and mediates cell survival in the ovary.
5 20728450 Expression profiling of akt2(-/-) myocardium revealed that Rab4a, a GTPase involved in glucose transporter 4 translocation and ?-adrenergic receptor (?AR) recycling to the plasma membrane, was significantly induced.
6 20728450 Confirmatory analysis revealed up-regulation of Rab4a mRNA and protein in akt2(-/-) myocardium.
7 20947368 Emphasis is given to the observation that certain combinations of whole-body Akt1 and Akt2 deficiencies reduce circulating levels of leptin and that restoration of leptin levels restores normal glucose homeostasis in diabetic Akt-deficient mice.
8 21190014 Despite the reduction of Trib3 expression, AKT2 activity was not increased.
9 21190014 These data suggest that TRIB3 inhibition improves insulin sensitivity in vivo primarily in a PPAR-?-dependent manner and without any change in AKT2 activity.
10 21646544 Transient down-regulation and overexpression of Akt isoforms in adipocytes demonstrated that insulin-activated PI3-kinase signals to GLUT4 primarily through Akt2 kinase, whereas Akt1 and Akt2 signal to FoxO1.
11 21799686 EA stimulated the expression of IRS1 and AKT2 and atropine treatment blocked the EA-induced expression of those insulin signaling proteins.
12 21277185 BM supplementation significantly increased IRS-2, IR ?, PI 3K and GLUT4 protein abundance in skeletal muscle, as well as phosphorylation of IRS-1, Akt1 and Akt2 when compared with HFD (P<.05 and P<.01).
13 21532616 Despite continued expression of Akt2 or Akt3, pAkt levels were decreased and there was evidence of reduced Akt effect on p27 in the PVPV-Akt1KO thyroids.
14 17021050 These data indicate distinct roles for Akt-1 and Akt-2 in muscle glucose metabolism and that moderate reductions in IRS-1 expression do not result in the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle in vivo.
15 21901280 Our results indicate that TCF7L2 binds directly to multiple genes that are important in regulation of glucose metabolism in the liver, including Pck1, Fbp1, Irs1, Irs2, Akt2, Adipor1, Pdk4 and Cpt1a.
