Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-2 Deletion Promotes Hyperglycemia and Susceptibility to Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes in Female Mice In Vivo.

The development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is largely dependent on the maintenance of pancreatic islet function and mass. Sexual dimorphism in T2D is evident in many areas, such as pathophysiology, treatment, and prevention. Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-2 (MKP-2) has a distinct role in the regulation of cell proliferation and the development of metabolic disorders.
