Uncovering the function of Wisp1 in whole-body glucose homeostasis: insights from Wisp1 knockout mice

Fernandez-Ruiz Rebeca, Ainhoa Garcia-Alaman, Marta Fontcuberta-PiSunyer, Marta Perea-Atienzar, Jessica Angulo-Capel, Colleen K. Hadley, Zeran Lin, Paul Cohen, Josép Vidal, Rosa Gasa

This study investigates the role of Wisp1 in glucose homeostasis using Wisp1 knockout mice, finding improved insulin sensitivity and reduced adipose inflammation but no effect on whole-body glucose tolerance.
