Molecular mechanisms of glucose uptake in skeletal muscle at rest and in response to exercise

Motriz: Revista de Educacao Fisica, 2017
Glucose uptake is an important phenomenon for cell homeostasis and for organism health. Under resting conditions, skeletal muscle is dependent on insulin to promote glucose uptake.Insulin, after binding to its membrane receptor, triggers a cascade of ...

Glycine Betaine Fluxes in Lactobacillus plantarum during Osmostasis and Hyper- and Hypo-osmotic Shock [PDF]

, 1996
Bacteria respond to changes in medium osmolarity by varying the concentrations of specific solutes in order to maintain constant turgor. The primary response of Lactobacillus plantarum to an osmotic upshock involves the accumulation of compatible solutes

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Extract of Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit stimulates basal glucose uptake and ameliorates palmitate-induced insulin resistance through AMPK activation in C2C12 myotubes

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies
Background The fruit of Phyllanthus emblica L., a traditional medicine in China and India, is used to treat diabetes mellitus. Its water extract (WEPE) has demonstrated hypoglycemic effects in diabetic rats, but its mechanisms on glucose utilization and ...

Constitutively Active CaMKKα Stimulates Skeletal Muscle Glucose Uptake in Insulin-Resistant Mice In Vivo [PDF]

, 2013
In insulin-sensitive skeletal muscle, the expression of constitutively active Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase α (caCaMKKα) stimulates glucose uptake independent of insulin signaling (i.e., Akt and Akt-dependent TBC1D1/TBC1D4 ...

Risk of Hepatotoxicity in Patients With Gout Treated With Febuxostat or Benzbromarone: A Propensity Score–Matched Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of febuxostat and benzbromarone in patients with gout. Methods New users of febuxostat or benzbromarone with monitoring of liver function at least three times in a year after initiation of the study drugs were identified from an ...

Glucose uptake in Prochlorococcus: diversity of kinetics and effects on the metabolism [PDF]

, 2017
We have previously shown that Prochlorococcus sp. SS120 strain takes up glucose by using a multiphasic transporter encoded by the Pro1404 gene. Here, we studied the glucose uptake kinetics in multiple Prochlorococcus strains from different ecotypes ...

Glucose uptake by the corn scutellum.

Phytochemistry, 1963
Abstract The rate of uptake of glucose into corn scutellum slices was dependent both on glucose concentration and the time the slices were incubated in water prior to the addition of glucose. As the length of the incubation period was increased, so was the rate of glucose uptake. This effect was nullified by high glucose concentrations (e.g. 4·9 × 10−

Two‐Year Follow‐Up of a Multidisciplinary Lifestyle Intervention for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The Plants for Joints (PFJ) intervention, including a whole‐food plant‐based diet, exercise, and stress reduction, reduced signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or metabolic syndrome–associated hip or knee osteoarthritis (MSOA) compared to usual care.

Enhancement of insulin-mediated rat muscle glucose uptake and microvascular perfusion by 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Insulin-induced microvascular recruitment is important for optimal muscle glucose uptake. 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR, an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase), can also induce microvascular ...
