FoxO-KLF15 regulates macronutrient metabolism in response to insulin signaling

We all know what it feels like to be hungry before a meal or sluggish afterward; and both of these feelings have to do with blood sugar levels, which are carefully regulated by dynamic systems within the body. Now, researchers from Japan have determined that a single pathway hinging on a liver-specific transcript of the gene encoding the transcription factor KLF15 regulates macronutrient metabolism in response to insulin levels to maintain this delicate balance.
