PCK2 and Insulin resistance: The hepatic expression of inflammatory markers serum amyloid a1, a2, and a3 (Saa1–3), as well as markers of insulin resistance such as Glut2 (Slc2a2), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (Pepck), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg), were elevated in PAT-ectomized mice compared to controls (Fig. 6i).
