"Hence, we investigated the possible activation of INSR by visfatin and its impact on the phosphorylation of several protein kinases, and whether they could mediate the action of visfatin in porcine luteal cells.Prior to our study, researchers had found that visfatin activates the MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway in the ovary; in bovine Gc, it visfatin increased phosphorylation of MAPK3/1 , while in hen Gc it reduced phosphorylation of MAPK3/1 ."
