FA1 induces pro-inflammatory and anti-adipogenic pathways/markers in human myotubes established from lean, obese and Type 2 diabetic subjects but not insulin resistance

Aims: Delta like 1/FA1 (Dlk1/FA1) is a protein secreted by hormone producing cells in adult human and mice that is known to inhibit adipogenesis. Recent studies demonstrated the role of Dlk1/FA1 in inducing insulin resistance in mice. To investigate the involvement of circulating Dlk1/FA1 in insuli...
