Glucose uptake and distribution across the human skeleton using state-of-the-art total-body PET/CT
A growing number of studies have demonstrated that the skeleton is an endocrine organ that is involved in glucose metabolism and plays a significant role in human glucose homeostasis. However, there is still a limited understanding of the in vivo glucose

Stable isotope metabolomics of pulmonary artery smooth muscle and endothelial cells in pulmonary hypertension and with TGF-beta treatment. [PDF]
Altered metabolism in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and endothelial cells (PAECs) contributes to the pathology of pulmonary hypertension (PH), but changes in substrate uptake and how substrates are utilized have not been fully ...

Glucose Transporter-4 Facilitates Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Uptake in Osteoblasts [PDF]
Recent studies have identified the osteoblast as an insulin responsive cell that participates in global energy homeostasis. Here, we show that glucose transporter-4 (Glut4) is required for insulin-dependent uptake and oxidation of glucose in mature osteoblasts.

Glucose inhibits cardiac muscle maturation through nucleotide biosynthesis. [PDF]
The heart switches its energy substrate from glucose to fatty acids at birth, and maternal hyperglycemia is associated with congenital heart disease. However, little is known about how blood glucose impacts heart formation.

Phytanic acid stimulates glucose uptake in a model of skeletal muscles, the primary porcine myotubes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Phytanic acid (PA) is a chlorophyll metabolite with potentials in regulating glucose metabolism, as it is a natural ligand of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) that is known to regulate hepatic glucose homeostasis.
