From: Insulin upregulates betatrophin expression via PI3K/Akt pathway
Correlation of betatrophin with insulin levels. Circulating betatrophin is associated with fasting insulin levels in all studied individuals (r = 0.497, P < 0.01) (A) and in T2D patients with insulin treatment (r = 0.541, P < 0.01) (B). Scatter plots illustrate correlation (r) between betatrophin and fasting insulin levels. ▴ illustrates patients with insulin treatment, and Δ illustrates patients without insulin treatment.
