Inactivation of a protein that regulates endothelial cell signaling enhanced insulin sensitivity in mice and could represent a new therapeutic strategy for treating metabolic syndrome and possibly obesity, researchers reported.
The protein Ecscr (also known as ARIA) was highly expressed in white and brown adipose tissue and was found to regulate energy metabolism and glucose homeostasis by modulating endothelial cell function, researcher Yoshiki Akakabe of Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, in Kyoto, Japan, and colleagues wrote online in the journal Nature Communications.
