The Claim
The control diet RDI D12450J suppresses insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation in white adipose tissue of LivARKO male mice, an effect not observed in other mouse models or diets.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In LivARKO male mice, the specific control diet RDI D12450J reduces the activation of the AKT protein in fat tissue after insulin stimulation, a response not seen with other diets or in other mouse strains.
See the scientific wording
The control diet used in this study (RDI D12450J) may contain components that suppress insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation in white adipose tissue of LivARKO male mice, as this effect is not observed in other mouse models or diets.
When the liver lacks androgen receptors, it sends abnormal signals to fat tissue that block insulin from activating a key protein needed for sugar uptake. This block only happens when the animal eats a specific lab diet; switching to a high-sugar diet fixes the problem by forcing the fat tissue to bypass the block and respond to insulin again.
What the research says
1 studyIn mice without liver androgen receptors, a specific lab diet stopped insulin from working properly in fat tissue—but when they ate a different diet (high in fructose), insulin started working again. This suggests the first diet might be the problem, not just the mice’s genes.
