GLUT2, glucose sensing and glucose homeostasis [PDF]
The glucose transporter isoform GLUT2 is expressed in liver, intestine, kidney and pancreatic islet beta cells, as well as in the central nervous system, in neurons, astrocytes and tanycytes. Physiological studies of genetically modified mice have revealed a role for GLUT2 in several regulatory mechanisms.

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

Machine learning for the diagnosis of early stage diabetes using temporal glucose profiles [PDF]
Machine learning shows remarkable success for recognizing patterns in data. Here we apply the machine learning (ML) for the diagnosis of early stage diabetes, which is known as a challenging task in medicine. Blood glucose levels are tightly regulated by two counter-regulatory hormones, insulin and glucagon, and the failure of the glucose homeostasis ...
