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.

Peripheral, but not central, CB1 antagonism provides food intake-independent metabolic benefits in diet-induced obese rats. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE Blockade of the CB1 receptor is one of the promising strategies for the treatment of obesity. Although antagonists suppress food intake and reduce body weight, the role of central versus peripheral CB1 activation on weight loss and related ...

Effects of 16 genetic variants on fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes in South Asians : ADCY5 and GLIS3 variants may predispose to type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Background: The Meta-Analysis of Glucose and Insulin related traits Consortium (MAGIC) recently identified 16 loci robustly associated with fasting glucose, some of which were also associated with type 2 diabetes.

Rho Family GTPases and Rho GEFs in Glucose Homeostasis
Dysregulation of glucose homeostasis leading to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is the cause of an increasing world health crisis. New intriguing roles have emerged for Rho family GTPases and their Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF ...
