mTORC2 sustains thermogenesis via Akt‐induced glucose uptake and glycolysis in brown adipose tissue [PDF]
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 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.

Upregulation of glucose uptake in L8 myotubes by the extract from Lagerstroemia speciosa: a possible mechanism of action [PDF]
Maejo International Journal of Science and Technology, 2009 The leaf of Lagerstroemia speciosa L. is used as an anti-diabetic herbal remedy in many countries. In an attempt to discover mechanisms of action of the L.

Biomolecules, 2022 Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is believed to solely mediate basal (insulin-independent) glucose uptake in skeletal muscle; yet recent work has demonstrated that mechanical overload, a model of resistance exercise training, increases muscle GLUT1 levels ...

Phospholipase D1 mediates AMP-activated protein kinase signaling for glucose uptake. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Glucose homeostasis is maintained by a balance between hepatic glucose production and peripheral glucose utilization. In skeletal muscle cells, glucose utilization is primarily regulated by glucose uptake.

The effects of propionate and valerate on insulin responsiveness for glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and C2C12 myotubes via G protein-coupled receptor 41. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Since insulin resistance can lead to hyperglycemia, improving glucose uptake into target tissues is critical for regulating blood glucose levels. Among the free fatty acid receptor (FFAR) family of G protein-coupled receptors, GPR41 is known to be the ...

Biomedicines, 2020 Significant depots of brown adipose tissue (BAT) have been identified in many adult humans through positron emission tomography (PET), with the amount of BAT being inversely correlated with obesity. As dietary activation of BAT has implications for whole

Methamphetamine inhibits the glucose uptake by human neurons and astrocytes: stabilization by acetyl-L-carnitine. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Methamphetamine (METH), an addictive psycho-stimulant drug exerts euphoric effects on users and abusers. It is also known to cause cognitive impairment and neurotoxicity.

Shikonin increases glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells and improves plasma glucose levels in diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: There is considerable interest in identifying compounds that can improve glucose homeostasis. Skeletal muscle, due to its large mass, is the principal organ for glucose disposal in the body and we have investigated here if shikonin, a ...
