Previously, by a yeast 2-hybrid screen, we identified signal transducer and activator of
transcription 5b (Stat5b) as a substrate of the insulin receptor (IR). We demonstrated that
refeeding of fasted mice leads to rapid activation of Stat5 proteins in liver, skeletal muscle,
and fat, suggesting that Stat5b is a physiological target of insulin. Here, we show that
injection of glucose or insulin into fasted mice leads to robust activation of both Stat5a and
Stat5b in skeletal muscle. In C2C12 myotubes, we find that insulin stimulates tyrosine …
