Overexpression of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B in HepG2 Cells Ameliorates Insulin-mediated Suppression of Apolipoprotein B mRNA Translation Via Its Untranslated Regions

Background: The hepatic secretion of apolipoprotein B (apoB), containing lipoproteins, is known to be regulated by insulin, and the overproduction of these atherogenic lipoproteins occurs in insulin-resistant states. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) is a key regulator of hepatic insulin sign...
