This study observed that partial autotaxin deficiency in mice protects against diet-induced obesity and systemic insulin resistance, suggesting the ATX-LPA pathway negatively affects skeletal muscle insulin signaling and mitochondrial function during obesity.

This study suggests that higher PDCD4 expression may play a significant role in polycystic ovary syndrome pathogenesis through its association with obesity, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism disorders, and increased granulosa cell apoptosis.

This report advances the hypothesis that finasteride and dutasteride inhibit 5α-reductase activities, potentially altering steroid metabolism and increasing the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and vascular disease.

This study found that Pik3r1 Y657* mice, which model human SHORT syndrome, show increased energy expenditure despite insulin resistance, but this is not due to changes in locomotion, thermoregulation, or Ucp1-dependent thermogenesis, suggesting a different metabolic mechanism may protect against lipotoxicity.

This study indicates that insulin changes sex hormone levels in insulin-resistant women with polycystic ovary syndrome without affecting gonadotropin release, challenging the idea that hyperinsulinemia directly causes hyperandrogenism in PCO.
