RAGE displays sex-specific differences in obesity-induced adipose tissue insulin resistance
Abstract
Highlights Female RAGE−/− mice showed significantly improved glucose and insulin tolerance compared to male RAGE−/− mice. Female RAGE deficiency promotes M2 macrophage polarization in adipose tissues. Female RAGE deficiency prevents oxidative stress in adipose tissues. Female RAGE deficiency protects insulin-AKT signaling in adipose tissues.
