Regulation of insulin and leptin signaling by muscle suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3).
Skeletal muscle resistance to the key metabolic hormones, leptin and insulin, is an early defect in obesity. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) is a major negative regulator of both leptin and insulin signaling, thereby implicating SOCS3 in the pathogenesis of obesity and associated metaboli...
