Morning glucagon disrupts insulin induced hepatic metabolic memory and subsequent afternoon glucose metabolism in canines [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionThe Staub-Traugott effect, or second-meal phenomenon, describes improved glucose disposal after a second identical meal. We previously showed that morning hyperinsulinemia primes the liver to enhance afternoon net hepatic glucose uptake and ...

Glucokinase as an emerging anti-diabetes target and recent progress in the development of its agonists

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2022
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with complicated pathogenesis, and mono-target therapy often fails to effectively manage the levels of blood glucose.

Elucidating the Glucokinase Activating Potentials of Naturally Occurring Prenylated Flavonoids: An Explicit Computational Approach

Molecules, 2021
Glucokinase activators are considered as new therapeutic arsenals that bind to the allosteric activator sites of glucokinase enzymes, thereby maximizing its catalytic rate and increasing its affinity to glucose. This study was designed to identify potent

The GCKR-P446L gene variant predisposes to raised blood cholesterol and lower blood glucose in the P446L mouse-a model for GCKR rs1260326

Molecular Metabolism, 2023
Objectives: The Glucokinase Regulatory Protein GKRP, encoded by GCKR, enables acute regulation of liver glucokinase to support metabolic demand. The common human GCKR rs1260326:Pro446 > Leu variant within a large linkage disequilibrium region associates ...

Genetic activation of α-cell glucokinase in mice causes enhanced glucose-suppression of glucagon secretion during normal and diabetic states

Molecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: While the molecular events controlling insulin secretion from β-cells have been documented in detail, the exact mechanisms governing glucagon release by α-cells are understood only partially.

The hepatoselective glucokinase activator PF-04991532 ameliorates hyperglycemia without causing hepatic steatosis in diabetic rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Hyperglycemia resulting from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the main cause of diabetic complications such as retinopathy and neuropathy. A reduction in hyperglycemia has been shown to prevent these associated complications supporting the importance ...

Characterization of a novel glucokinase activator in rat and mouse models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Glucokinase (GK) is a hexokinase isozyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. Glucokinase activators are being investigated as potential diabetes therapies because of their effects on hepatic glucose output and/or insulin

GCK exonic mutations induce abnormal biochemical activities and result in GCK-MODY

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Objective: Glucokinase-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY; MODY2) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene.

A glucokinase-linked sensor in the taste system contributes to glucose appetite

Molecular Metabolism, 2022
Objectives: Dietary glucose is a robust elicitor of central reward responses and ingestion, but the key peripheral sensors triggering these orexigenic mechanisms are not entirely known.

Singular versus combinatory glucose-sensitive signal control of metabolic sensor protein profiles in hypothalamic astrocyte cultures from each sex

Translational Neuroscience, 2022
Brain metabolic-sensory targets for modulatory glucose-sensitive endocrine and neurochemical signals remain unidentified. A hypothalamic astrocyte primary culture model was here used to investigate whether glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and noradrenergic ...
