Hepatic insulin resistance in ob/ob mice involves increases in ceramide, aPKC activity, and selective impairment of Akt-dependent FoxO1 phosphorylation

Pathogenesis of insulin resistance in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice is obscure. In another form of diet-dependent obesity, high-fat-fed mice, hepatic insulin resistance involves ceramide-induced activation of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), which selectively impairs protein kinase B (Akt)-dependent...
