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 ...
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 ...
The common forms of type 2 diabetes are caused by a constellation of genetic and epigenetic factors and molecular changes related to diet; lifestyle, including lack of exercise and sleep; ...
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 ...
