Hexokinase II knockdown results in exaggerated cardiac hypertrophy via increased ROS production
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2012 Hexokinase‐II (HKII) is highly expressed in the heart and can bind to the mitochondrial outer membrane. Since cardiac hypertrophy is associated with a substrate switch from fatty acid to glucose, we hypothesized that a reduction in HKII would decrease ...

Astrocytes and neurons communicate via a monocarboxylic acid shuttle [PDF]
, 2020 Since formulation of the Astrocyte-Neuron Lactate Shuttle (ANLS) hypothesis in 1994, the hypothesis has provoked criticism and debate. Our review does not criticise, but rather integrates experimental data characterizing proton-linked monocarboxylate ...
