Variation in the Glucose Transporter gene SLC2A2 is associated with glycaemic response to metformin
Metformin is the first-line antidiabetic drug with over 100 million users worldwide, yet its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here the Metformin Genetics (MetGen) Consortium reports a three-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS), consisting of 13,

Effects of insulin on glucose transport and glucose transporters in rat heart [PDF]
The effect of insulin on glucose transport and glucose transporters was studied in perfused rat heart. Glucose transport was measured by the efflux of labelled 3-O-methylglucose from hearts preloaded with this hexose. Insulin stimulated 3-O-methylglucose transport by: (a) doubling the maximal velocity (Vmax); (b) decreasing the Kd from 6.9 to 2.7 mM ...

Diet-induced insulin resistance altered cardiac GLUT4 and FATP/CD36 expression in rats
Background Altered substrate transport protein expression is central to the effect of insulin resistance on cardiac metabolism. The present study was thus designed to investigate the comparative effects of high fat, high sucrose and salt-induced IR on ...

Novel Roles for the Insulin-Regulated Glucose Transporter-4 in Hippocampally Dependent Memory
The insulin-regulated glucose transporter-4 (GluT4) is critical for insulin- and contractile-mediated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. GluT4 is also expressed in some hippocampal neurons, but its functional role in the brain is unclear.

The antipsychotic drug olanzapine is widely prescribed to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. However, it often causes unwanted side effects, including diabetes, due to disruption of insulin‐dependant glucose metabolism through a mechanism

More on glucose transporters: The acinar organization for hepatic glucose transport [PDF]
The “erythroid/brain” glucose transporter (GT) isoform is expressed only in a subset of hepatocytes, those forming the first row around the terminal hepatic venules, while the “liver” GT is expressed in all hepatocytes. After 3 d of starvation, a three- to fourfold elevation of expression of the erythroid/brain GT mRNA and ...

An evolved xylose transporter from
Background Xylose is a second most abundant sugar component of lignocellulose besides glucose. Efficient fermentation of xylose is important for the economics of biomass-based biorefineries.
