Unlabelled: Backround: Genetic variants are implicated in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and nephropathy (DN). The role of solute carrier family 2-facilitated glucose transporter member 1 (SLC2A1), also known as glucose transporter (GLUT1), on DR and DN remain controversial.
Objective: Examination of the influence of tag SLC2A1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the development of DR and DN during the course of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: A total of 169 patients with DR or DN, 107 uncomplicated T2DM patients, and 315 controls were recruited and genotyped for 14 SLC2A1 tag SNPs. SNPs and haplotypes were tested for associations with microvascular diabetes' complications.
Results: rs3768029 TT genotype was associated with a lower risk of DR + DN, compared to the CC wild-type (p = 0.0024). Moreover, CT and TT rs841847 genotypes were associated with a higher risk of DR + DN compared to the CC genotype (p = 0.0028). A common haplotype (GGCCCGCATCAAT) was associated with an increased risk of DR, DN, DR ± DN, and DR + DN phenotypes. Mutational loads of rs3768029, rs3729548, rs841853, and rs841847 were found to influence the development of microvascular complications during the T2DM course.
Conclusions: This study provides evidence that SLC2A1 gene variants might be implicated in the development of T2DM microvascular complications.

Background: The etiological mechanism of hypospadias is multifactorial and may be heterogeneous by severity. To date, very limited analyses on proteome in hypospadias have been conducted, and there are still no severe hypospadias proteomics analyses.
Methods: In our study, tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics was performed, exploring the clinical samples from hypospadias patients and healthy donators, in order to identify distinctly expressed proteins for severe hypospadias.

IL-6 is a biologically active cytokine released during exercise by contracting skeletal muscles. It appears to be highly involved in the regulation of muscles energy substrate utilization. Whether an ablation of IL-6 (IL-6 KO) in mice subjected to a single bout of exercise affects lipid and/or glucose metabolism is currently unknown.

This study was conducted to evaluate the chronic effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on fatty acid and glucose metabolism in human skeletal muscle cells. Uptake of [14C]oleate was increased >2-fold after preincubation of myotubes with 0.6 mM EPA for 24 h, and incorporation into various lipid classes showed that cellular triacylgycerol (TAG) and phospholipids were increased 2- to 3-fold compared with control cells.

Objective: To test agent and cell-type specificity in insulin resistance induced by prolonged exposure to HIV protease inhibitors (HPI), and to assess its relation to the direct, short-term inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.
Methods: Following prolonged (18 h) and short (5-10 min) exposure to HPI, insulin-stimulated glucose transport, protein kinase B (PKB) phosphorylation, and GLUT4 translocation were evaluated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, fibroblasts, L6 myotubes, and L6 cells overexpressing a myc tag on the first exofacial loop of GLUT4 or GLUT1.
Results: Prolonged exposure of 3T3-L1 adipocytes to nelfinavir, but not to indinavir or saquinavir, resulted in increased basal lipolysis but decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport and PKB phosphorylation.
