What Are the Toxicological Implications of Insulin Pathway Disruption?
Disruption of the insulin pathway can lead to significant health consequences, including the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Insulin resistance, a common outcome of pathway disruption, is a key feature of metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of heart disease and other metabolic disorders. Toxicological studies aim to identify substances that can disrupt this pathway and assess the potential health risks associated with exposure.
