Impaired mTOR/SREBP1-Mediated Lipogenesis as a Mechanism of Hepatic Glycogen Accumulation in a Carnivorous Fish Model, Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)
What this study shows
mTOR/SREBP1 signaling governs hepatic glucose partitioning; the insulin-responsive mTOR/SREBP1 axis promotes lipogenesis versus glycogen accumulation. In this model -- a carnivorous fish -- an impaired axis causes hepatic glycogen overload mimicking glucose intolerance.
At a glance
| Evidence type | A Animal model Marked A because it is an animal intervention or observation study measuring an organismal outcome (model: Carnivorous fish (hepatic glycogen accumulation model)); the code names the system studied -- animal work can be rigorous and still not be human data. |
| Study type | 4 - Animal Study |
| Model system | Carnivorous fish (hepatic glycogen accumulation model) |
