Abstract Several key elements of the insulin signaling cascade contribute to podocyte
function and survival. While it was initially thought that the consequences of
altered insulin signaling to podocyte function was strictly related to altered
glucose uptake, it has become clear that upstream signaling events involved in
cell survival, lipid metabolism or nutrient sensing and modulated by insulin are
strong independent contributors to podocyte function.
