Several studies have also shown that FOXO1 is a key regulator of hepatic glucose production and lipid metabolism because the liver-specific deletion of FOXO1 increases insulin sensitivity, fasting hypoglycemia and lipogenesis, whereas constitutively active FOXO1 blocks the insulin-mediated reduction of hepatic glucose production [58,59,60,61]. This evidence concerns the gene FOXO1 and Hypoglycemia.
