Abstract
The JNK pathway is known to be activated in several tissues in the diabetic state, and is possibly involved in the development of insulin resistance and suppression of insulin biosynthesis. Here we show a potential new therapy for diabetes using cell-permeable JNK-inhibitory peptide. Intraperitoneal administration of the peptide led to its transduction into various tissues in vivo, and this treatment markedly improved insulin resistance and ameliorated glucose tolerance in diabetic mice. These data indicate that the JNK pathway is critically involved in diabetes and that the cell-permeable JNK-inhibitory peptide may have promise as a new therapeutic agent for diabetes.Cite this article
