The Melanocortin-4 Receptor Integrates Circadian Light Cues and Metabolism [PDF]
, 2015 The melanocortin system directs diverse physiological functions from coat color to body weight homoeostasis. A commonality among melanocortin-mediated processes is that many animals modulate similar processes on a circannual basis in response to longer ...

Beneficial effects of intercellular interactions between pancreatic islet cells in blood glucose regulation [PDF]
, 2009 Glucose homeostasis is controlled by the islets of Langerhans which are equipped with alpha-cells increasing the blood glucose level, beta-cells decreasing it, and delta-cells the precise role of which still needs identifying. Although intercellular communications between these endocrine cells have recently been observed, their roles in glucose ...

Glucose-fueled Micromotors with Highly Efficient Visible Light Photocatalytic Propulsion [PDF]
, 2019 Synthetic micro/nanomotors fueled by glucose are highly desired for numerous practical applications because of the biocompatibility of their required fuel. However, currently all of the glucose-fueled micro/nanomotors are based on enzyme-catalytic-driven

Bayesian Analysis of Glucose Dynamics during the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this paper, we propose a model of the dynamics of the blood glucose level during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). This dynamic includes the action of insulin and glucagon in the glucose homeostasis process as the reaction of an oral stimulus.

Starfruit Leaves as Glucose Absorption Inhibitor in Mice's Small Intestinal Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Starfruit (Averrhoa carambola) leaves contain flavone derivatives that exhibit anti-hyperglycemic effects. This study aims to determine the effect of starfruit leaves in reducing glucose absorption in intestinal epithelial cells of mice ...

mTORC2 sustains thermogenesis via Akt-induced glucose uptake and glycolysis in brown adipose tissue [PDF]
, 2016 Activation of non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been proposed as an anti-obesity treatment. Moreover, cold-induced glucose uptake could normalize blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant patients.
