Crosstalk and hormonal regulation of glucose and lipid sensing. This schematic representation of the interrelationship between glucose and lipid-sensing mechanisms and their modulation by hormones underlines the convergence of these signals on three key players: AMPK, malonyl-CoA, and KATP channels.
