Abstract

The molecular link between obesity and beta cell failure that causes diabetes is difficult to establish. Here we show that a conditional knockout of insulin receptor substrate 2 (Irs2) in mouse pancreas beta cells and parts of the brain--including the hypothalamus--increased appetite, lean and fat body mass, linear growth, and insulin resistance that progressed to diabetes. Diabetes resolved when the mice were between 6 and 10 months of age: functional beta cells expressing Irs2 repopulated the pancreas, restoring sufficient beta cell function to compensate for insulin resistance in the obese mice. Thus, Irs2 signaling promotes regeneration of adult beta cells and central control of nutrient homeostasis, which can prevent obesity and diabetes in mice.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Neuron-specific deletion of either insulin receptor or IRS-2 in mice causes mild obesity and insulin resistance.

    “mice with neuron-specific deletion of either the insulin receptor (IR) or insulin receptor-substrate-2 (IRS-2) are characterized by mild obesity and insulin resistance (27, 97, 105).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
