| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By investigating differential insulin signaling in the periportal (PP) zone, the site of gluconeogenesis, and perivenous (PV) zone, the site of lipogenesis, of the liver, we found that insulin signaling mediated by Irs1 and Irs2 was impaired in the PP zone, but rather enhanced in the PV zone, caused by the downregulation by hyperinsulinemia of Irs2, which is similarly expressed in both the PP and PV zones, coupled with intact expression of Irs1, which is predominantly expressed in the PV zone and is not affected by hyperinsulinemia. These data suggest that “selective insulin resistance” is induced by the differential distribution and alterations of hepatic Irs1 and Irs2 expressions in type 2 diabetes and obesity.
