Deletion of IRS-1 leads to growth failure and insulin resistance with downregulation of liver and muscle insulin signaling in rats by Yuka Toyoshima, Katsuyuki Nakamura, Yusuke Taguchi, Reiko Tokita, Shiho Takeuchi, Hayato Osawa, Naomi Teramoto, Hidetoshi Sugihara, Fumiaki Yoshizawa, Keitaro Yamanouchi, Shiro Minami

“…In addition, despite the increased activity of insulin-stimulated IRS-2-associated phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K), insulin-induced phosphorylation of the kinases downstream of PI3K was suppressed in the liver and skeletal muscle of IRS-1 KO rats. Taken together, these results indicate that in rats, IRS-1 is essential for normal growth and the glucose-lowering effects of insulin. …”
