Decreased basal hepatic glucose uptake in impaired fasting glucose [PDF]
This research aimed to define the pathophysiological defects responsible for the elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration and excessive rise in post-load plasma glucose observed in individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG).We used tracer techniques to quantify basal splanchnic (primarily hepatic) glucose uptake and glucose fluxes ...

Organ-Specific Glucose Uptake: Does Sex Matter?
Glucose uptake by peripheral organs is essential for maintaining blood glucose levels within normal range. Impaired glucose uptake is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome and is characterized by insulin resistance.

A Rab10:RalA G protein cascade regulates insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes. [PDF]
Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in fat and muscle is mediated by the major facilitative glucose transporter Glut4. Insulin controls the trafficking of Glut4 to the plasma membrane via regulation of a series of small G proteins, including RalA and Rab10.

Lactate: brain fuel in human traumatic brain injury: a comparison with normal healthy control subjects. [PDF]
We evaluated the hypothesis that lactate shuttling helps support the nutritive needs of injured brains. To that end, we utilized dual isotope tracer [6,6-(2)H2]glucose, that is, D2-glucose, and [3-(13)C]lactate techniques involving arm vein tracer ...

In vitro 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose uptake: practical considerations [PDF]
In oncology 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose ([F-18]-FDG), a glucose analogue, is the most used positron emission tomography (PET) tracer. There are however some limitations due to low metabolic activity or high surrounding physiological uptake in ...

Activation of Akt by insulin is transmitted via phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI-3K) and enhances glucose uptake. The PI-3K/Akt signaling is diminished in insulin resistance.

Systems biology analysis of drivers underlying hallmarks of cancer cell metabolism. [PDF]
Malignant transformation is often accompanied by significant metabolic changes. To identify drivers underlying these changes, we calculated metabolic flux states for the NCI60 cell line collection and correlated the variance between metabolic states of ...
