Deskripsi
Insulin sensitivity declines with age via unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors show that the activity of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is increased with ageing, leading to cleavage of the insulin receptor, and show that metabolic effects can be rescued by MT1-MMP inhibition in mice.
