A possible mechanism for IH-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. IH upregulates hepatokines such as selenoprotein P to increase insulin resistance and HIP/PAP [59] to proliferate such hepatocytes via downregulation of microRNA-203, resulting in insulin resistance, fat accumulation, and arteriosclerosis.
