Article Synopsis
- - Glucokinase (GCK) plays a crucial role in regulating blood glucose levels and is a potential target for new diabetes treatments, although effective drugs are still in development.
- - Research using zebrafish, which are valuable for studying metabolic diseases, showed that GCK expression varies in different tissues, being consistent in islet cells but influenced by nutrition in the liver.
- - In a diabetes model, lower GCK expression in liver and islet cells was linked to reduced β-cell numbers, but activating GCK improved high blood sugar levels without causing stress responses, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target.
