Dysregulation of Glucose Homeostasis Following Chronic Exogenous Administration of Leptin in Healthy Sprague-Dawley Rats [PDF]
Introduction: Impaired glucose utilization is seen in chronic hyperleptinaemia associated conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is unclear if this impaired glucose utilization is due to the effect of persistent hyperleptinaemia on

Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase Type IIα Is Targeted Specifically to Cellugyrin-Positive Glucose Transporter 4 Vesicles [PDF]
Phosphoinositides now emerge as important regulators of membrane traffic. In particular, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate may serve as a precursor for polyphosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol and, also, may regulate vesicular traffic by recruiting specific proteins to the membrane.

Possible domains responsible for intracellular targeting and insulin-dependent translocation of glucose transporter type 4 [PDF]
Translocation of the type 4 glucose transporter (GLUT4) to the cell surface from an intracellular pool is the major mechanism of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in insulin-target cells. We developed a highly sensitive and quantitative method to detect GLUT4 immunologically on the surface of intact cells, using c-myc epitope-tagged GLUT4 (GLUT4myc ...

Establishment of long-term high-fat diet and low dose streptozotocin-induced experimental type-2 diabetes mellitus model of insulin resistance and evaluation of seed extracts of Syzygium cumini [PDF]
Introduction: The principal mechanism responsible for reducing blood glucose is through insulin-stimulated glucose transport into skeletal muscle. The transporter protein that mediates this uptake is GLUT-4.

Muscle and adipose tissue insulin resistance: malady without mechanism?
Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for numerous diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These disorders have dramatically increased in incidence with modern life, suggesting that excess nutrients and obesity are major ...

Magnesium increases insulin-dependent glucose uptake in adipocytes
BackgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by a decreased insulin sensitivity. Magnesium (Mg2+) deficiency is common in people with T2D. However, the molecular consequences of low Mg2+ levels on insulin sensitivity and glucose handling have not ...

Insulin stimulated-glucose transporter Glut 4 is expressed in the retina. [PDF]
The vertebrate retina is a very metabolically active tissue whose energy demands are normally met through the uptake of glucose and oxygen. Glucose metabolism in this tissue relies upon adequate glucose delivery from the systemic circulation.
