FoxO transcription factors contribute to cardiac muscle remodeling and insulin signaling, but
how they link insulin resistance and maladaptive heart hypertrophy remains unknown. A
new study by Ni et al.(2007) shows that sustained activation of FoxO1 or FoxO3 in
cardiomyocytes selectively enhances the activity of Akt/PKB and reduces insulin signaling
through inhibition of calcineurin and PP2A.
