Interestingly, in a study in which a diet enriched in fish oil was administered to dams with STZ-induced diabetes, the offspring’s neonatal heart showed an increase in the reduced phosphorylation of mTOR and AKT, both in Ser-473 (phosphorylation induced by mTORC2) and in Thr-308 (phosphorylation activated by growth factors pathways; Nasu-Kawaharada et al., 2013). This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and diabetes mellitus.
