Abstract:Excessive hepatic gluconeogenesis partially accounts for the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Serum- and glucocorticoid inducible-kinase 1 (SGK1) is linked to the development of metabolic syndrome, such as obesity, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. However, the regulatory role of SGK1 in glucose metabolism of liver remains uncertain. Our microarray analysis showed that SGK1 expression was strongly induced by 8-Br-cAMP and suppressed by metformin in primary mouse hepatocytes. Hepatic SGK1 expression was m… Show more
