The dual approach to appetite suppression working through both hypothalamic GLP-1 receptors and brainstem amylin receptors provides more full control over food intake
While the classical InsR-B is primarily involved in control of glucose uptake and metabolism [25], InsR-A (normally expressed in fetal tissues) promotes mitosis, cell invasion and protection from apoptosis upon IGF-2 stimulation in a variety of cancers [26,27,28,29,30,31,32]
In the mitochondrial matrix it catalyses the oxidation of simple 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA chains as part of the beta-oxidation pathway [85]
