Altered PI3-kinase/Akt signalling in skeletal muscle of young men with low birth weight.

Altered PI3-kinase/Akt signalling in skeletal muscle of young men with low birth weight.

Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with increased future risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We have previously shown that young LBW men have reduced skeletal muscle expression of PI3K p85alpha regulatory subunit an...
