Multi-dimensional Transcriptional Remodeling by Physiological Insulin In Vivo (Cell Reports)

Batista et al. demonstrate potent transcriptional remodeling by physiological insulin action in skeletal muscle and liver, involving interrelated networks of protein-coding genes, transcription factors, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). From an array of metabolically sensitive lncRNAs, Gm15441 is identified as a regulator of fatty acid oxidation in hepatocytes.
