Differential Expression of Novel Adiponectin Receptor-1 Transcripts in Skeletal Muscle of Subjects With Normal Glucose Tolerance and Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

These results indicate that AdipoR1 receptor expression in human skeletal muscle is subjected to posttranscriptional regulation, including alternative splicing and translational control. These mechanisms play an important role during myogenesis and may be important for whole-body insulin sensitivity.
