•Emerging studies suggest that ApoE has other functions beyond cholesterol metabolism.•At 32-weeks, insulin signaling was similar in both ApoE3 and ApoE4 knock-in mice.•At 72-weeks, IRS1 and PI3K expression and Akt phosphorylation were reduced in ApoE4 mice.•Aged huApoE4 mice also have lower liver i...
