1 11978789 GLP-2 inhibited activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) through phosphorylation at Ser(21) in GSK-3alpha and at Ser(9) in GSK-3beta in a PI3K-independent, PKA-dependent manner.
2 16176184 Insulin inhibits GSK3 by promoting phosphorylation of a serine residue (Ser-21 in GSK3alpha, Ser-9 in GSK3beta), thereby relieving GSK3 inhibition of glycogen synthesis in muscle.
3 20383279 The inhibitory effect of nitration on Akt activity was confirmed by the ability of SIN-1 to completely block GSK3alpha phosphorylation in vitro.
4 15194499 In myotubes established from type 2 diabetic and healthy control subjects we determined GS activity ratio, protein expression, and activity of GSK-3alpha and beta under basal and insulin-stimulated conditions when precultured in increasing insulin concentrations.
5 15194499 In myotubes precultured at low insulin concentrations acute insulin stimulation increased GS activity more in control than in diabetic subjects, whereas the corresponding GSK-3alpha but not GSK-3beta activity was significantly reduced by acute insulin treatment in both groups.
6 18694957 Mice engineered to lack GSK-3beta die in late embryogenesis from liver apoptosis, whereas mice engineered to lack GSK-3alpha are viable and exhibit improved insulin sensitivity and hepatic glucose homeostasis.
