Is protein Phosphatase 1 Beta Modulated by Chronic Hypoxia and Involved in the Angiogenic Endothelial Cell Migration?
PP1cβ is regulator of endothelial cell migration, which is critical in the angiogenic process. PP1cβ inhibition reduces endothelial cell migration through focal adhesion turnover and actin polymerization pathways.
In sedentary nondiabetic persons following a low-fat diet, FABP2 Thr54 carriers have lower glucose tolerance and lower insulin action than do Ala54-homozygous persons. Furthermore, FABP Thr54 carriers have higher lipid oxidation rates, which may be the mechanism of glucoregulatory dysfunction.
