A group of researchers led by Kazuya Kikuchi, professor at the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, clarified the role of a N-glycan chain on glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) by ...
The glucose transporter GLUT4 facilitates insulin-stimulated glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue. Defects in glucose uptake represent an early step in the development of type 2 diabetes ...
After exposure to insulin, a complex sequence occurred, with GLUT4 shifting from clusters to individual GLUT4 molecules. Based on the total amount of glucose the cells took in, the researchers deduced ...
GLUT4 expression decreased in 19 pts with PMR, and 3 with SMD. Among 12 pts with exon 11 mutation, 11 had PMR, 1 SMD; among 5 pts with wild-type genotype, 4 had PMR, and 1 SMD. Conclusions: After IM ...
Researchers at Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd. have developed a xanthene compound that can promote glucose uptake by GLUT4 into skeletal muscle.
New research is providing insights into why the brain is so reliant on sugar to function. "We are at the beginning of understanding how brain cells are using fuel and how they try to regulate what ...
