    We constructed conditional knockout mice. Here we show that ablation of p110β in the livers of the resulting mice leads to impaired insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis, while having little effect on phosphorylation of Akt, suggesting the involvement of a kinase-independent role of p110β in...
