Liver International (Print), v.1, p. n/a-n/a, 2013 Abstract: The stress-activated nuclear protein transcription regulator 1 (NUPR1) is induced in response to glucose and TNF-alpha, both of which are elevated in type 2 diabetes, and Nupr1 has been implicated in cell proliferation and apoptosis cascades. We used Nupr1 (-/-) mice to study the role of Nupr1 in glucose homeostasis under normal conditions and following maintenance on a high-fat diet (HFD).
