Loss of AMP-activated protein kinase alpha 2 subunit in mouse beta-cells impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and inhibits their sensitivity to hypoglycaemia [PDF]
AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) signalling plays a key role in whole-body energy homoeostasis, although its precise role in pancreatic β-cell function remains unclear.

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.

Metabolic and hormonal studies of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients after successful pancreas and kidney transplantation [PDF]
Long-term normalization of glucose metabolism is necessary to prevent or ameliorate diabetic complications. Although pancreatic grafting is able to restore normal blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin, the degree of normalization of the deranged ...

The Sulfonylurea Drug, Glimepiride, Stimulates Glucose Transport, Glucose Transporter Translocation, and Dephosphorylation In Insulin-Resistant Rat Adipocytes In Vitro [PDF]
Sulfonylurea drugs are widely used in the therapy of NIDDM. The improvement of glucose tolerance after long-term treatment of NIDDM patients with the drug can be explained by stimulation of glucose utilization in peripheral tissues that are characterized

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

Intestinal absorption of glucose in mice as determined by positron emission tomography. [PDF]
KEY POINTS:The goal was to determine the importance of the sodium-glucose cotransporter SGLT1 and the glucose uniporter GLUT2 in intestinal glucose absorption during oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) in mice.
