TY - JOUR T1 - DRug linked with diabetes AU - Hampton T Y1 - 2012/06/06 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2012.5729 JO - JAMA SP - 2247 EP - 2247 VL - 307 IS - 21 N2 - A transcription factor in muscle known as Yin Yang 1 (YY1) seems to play a key role. Rapamycin physically alters YY1 and causes it to bind to sequences that control the expression of certain genes, ultimately leading to decreased insulin signaling. Mice lacking YY1 did not develop diabetes when given rapamycin. SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.2012.5729 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2012.5729 ER -
