Physiological functions of glucose transporter-2: From cell physiology to links with diabetes mellitus

Heliyon
Glucose is a sugar crucial for human health since it participates in many biochemical reactions. It produces adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) and nucleosides through glucose metabolic and pentose phosphate pathways.

Severe intoxication caused by sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor overdose: a case report

BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2020
Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors inhibit SGLT2, which is expressed in the proximal renal tubule, and thus reduce blood glucose levels by enabling the urinary excretion of excess glucose.

Oral metformin transiently lowers post-prandial glucose response by reducing the apical expression of sodium-glucose co-transporter 1 in enterocytes

iScience, 2023
Summary: Metformin (MET) is the most prescribed antidiabetic drug, but its mechanisms of action remain elusive. Recent data point to the gut as MET’s primary target. Here, we explored the effect of MET on the gut glucose transport machinery.

Imaging glutathione depletion in the rat brain using ascorbate-derived hyperpolarized MR and PET probes. [PDF]

, 2018
Oxidative stress is a critical feature of several common neurologic disorders. The brain is well adapted to neutralize oxidative injury by maintaining a high steady-state concentration of small-molecule intracellular antioxidants including glutathione in

Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...

Oral Dosed Organo‐Silica Nanoparticles Restore Glucose Homeostasis and β‐Cell Function in Diabetes Rats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...
