Human Glucose Transporters in Renal Glucose Homeostasis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 The kidney plays an important role in glucose homeostasis by releasing glucose into the blood stream to prevent hypoglycemia. It is also responsible for the filtration and subsequent reabsorption or excretion of glucose. As glucose is hydrophilic and soluble in water, it is unable to pass through the lipid bilayer on its own; therefore, transport takes

Glucose inhibits cardiac muscle maturation through nucleotide biosynthesis. [PDF]
, 2017 The heart switches its energy substrate from glucose to fatty acids at birth, and maternal hyperglycemia is associated with congenital heart disease. However, little is known about how blood glucose impacts heart formation.

International Consensus on Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Diabetes Care, 2017 Measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been the traditional method for assessing glycemic control. However, it does not reflect intra- and interday glycemic excursions that may lead to acute events (such as hypoglycemia) or postprandial ...

Genome-wide analysis of the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene family in Arabidopsis, a key enzyme for matrix polysaccharides in cell walls [PDF]
, 2007 Arabidopsis cell walls contain large amounts of pectins and hemicelluloses, which are predominantly synthesized via the common precursor UDP-glucuronic acid.

Circulation, 1999 The homeostasis of plasma glucose levels is essential for survival of the mammalian organism. Since blood glucose concentration is maintained within a narrow range, glucose is a most reliable substrate for energy production in the heart. The importance of glucose metabolism via glycolysis is well appreciated in ischemic and hypertrophied heart muscle,1

Role of Skeletal Muscle in Insulin Resistance and Glucose Uptake.
Comprehensive Physiology, 2020 The skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the body, by mass. It is also the regulator of glucose homeostasis, responsible for 80% of postprandial glucose uptake from the circulation.

Glucose transporters in brain in health and disease
Pflügers Archiv: European Journal of Physiology, 2020 Energy demand of neurons in brain that is covered by glucose supply from the blood is ensured by glucose transporters in capillaries and brain cells.

Dapagliflozin stimulates glucagon secretion at high glucose: experiments and mathematical simulations of human A-cells. [PDF]
, 2016 Glucagon is one of the main regulators of blood glucose levels and dysfunctional stimulus secretion coupling in pancreatic A-cells is believed to be an important factor during development of diabetes.

Absorption spectroscopy of glucose based on a silicon photonics evanescent sensor [PDF]
, 2013 We present a silicon photonics evanescent sensor for glucose absorption spectroscopy. The important design aspects of this miniature sensor are discussed as well as the experimental challenges. We demonstrate detection of glucose down to 14 mmol/L, close
