The Influence of Chromium Supplementation on the Insulin Pathway, Carcass Traits, and Meat Quality of Feedlot Steers
… efficiency of growth in livestock by amplifying insulin signaling. Previous research showed Cr increases nutrient utilization and changes in muscle growth and fat deposition. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine how Cr affects carcass traits, meat quality, and the insulin …

dLipin-A Link between Lipid Metabolism, Glucose Homeostasis and Growth in Drosophila melanogaster
… been implicated in lipodystrophy, obesity and insulin resistance. Using dLipin, the Drosophila homolog of Lipin, as a model, I aimed to elucidate the relationship between the two biochemical functions of Lipin and metabolic homeostasis. I discovered there is a strong interconnection between TAG …

Expression, Cloning, and Sequencing of Putative Insulin Signaling Genes Involved in Diapause in the Flesh Fly <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>.
… The diapause state has been linked to the insulin signaling pathway. Insulin signaling has been associated with many physiological processes including aging. It is a working hypothesis that the diapause and aging programs have a common set of gene expression pathways via insulin signaling. …

Insights Into The Therapeutic Potential of Salt Inducible Kinase 1: A Novel Mechanism of Metabolic Control
… that skeletal muscle SIK1 regulates insulin sensitivity and blood glucose concentrations through mechanism(s) independent of the canonical insulin pathway. Our research addresses many previously unanswered questions about SIK1 action in metabolism and positions SIK1 as a potential …

Identification And Rescue Of Misregulated Insulin Signaling In A Drosophila Model Of Fragile X Syndrome
… we show that select expression of dfmr1 in the insulin-producing cells (IPCs) of the brain is sufficient to restore normal circadian behavior and to rescue the memory deficits in the fragile X mutant fly. Examination of the insulin signaling pathway revealed elevated levels of Drosophila …

Nutritional status influences behavior, physiology, and brain gene expression in primitively eusocial Polistes metricus paper wasps
… evolved social insects are mediated by similar pathways, it may give more insight into the evolution of eusociality. We tested the effect of nutrition on worker division of labor in primitively eusocial insects at three different levels: behavior, physiology, and brain gene expression. In order …

Insulin and TOR pathways regulate cellular and organismal growth through the myc oncogene in Drosophila
… in both mice and Drosophila the involvement of Insulin pathway in growth regulation, probably due to its role in glucose and lipid import, nutrient storage, and translation of RNAs implicated in ribosome biogenesis (Vanhaesebroeck et al. 2001). Moreover several lines of evidence implicate this …
