Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Type 1 and type 2 diabetes and diabetic late complications are often associated with states of chronic inflammation characterized by increased amounts of circulating reactive metabolites and proinflammatory cytokines, such as Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), which affect metabolic tissues by impairing physiologic hormone and nutrient signaling. So far, the molecular response to cytokine signaling in metabolic tissues, including the liver, is only marginally understood. Results: In a screen to identify transcriptional regulators responsive to inflammatory signaling we found that the activity of…
