Hepatocyte SLC31A1-dependent copper accumulation contributes to hepatic glucose and lipid metabolic disturbances through AMPKα1 inactivation
Hepatic insulin resistance and fat accumulation are common features of metabolic syndrome, obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, whether the copper importer SLC31A1 has a role in diabetes-associated hepatic metabolic disorders remains unknown. Thus, we studied the role of hepatocyte SLC31A1 in HFD/STZ-induced T2D...
