We present evidence that chronic 24 hour treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid increases deoxyglucose uptake 25 fold with a maximal effect at a concentration of 35nM. This pharmacological response is associated with a 21 fold increase in expression of glucose transporter 1 (glut 1) mRNA. These findings are discussed with respect to glucose transporter gene regulation and insulin signalling and are compared to previous observations describing the acute effects of okadaic acid on glucose transporter translocation.

Glucose is a major source of energy for the brain. At the blood-brain barrier (BBB), glucose uptake is facilitated by glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome (GLUT1DS), a haploinsufficiency affecting SLC2A1, reduces glucose brain uptake.

The generated data were used to examine the effects of ipragliflozin and metformin on indices of hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis.
Materials And Methods: In total, 103 Japanese patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D), body mass index (BMI) of ≥22 kg/m and glycated haemoglobin level of 7%-10% were randomly administered ipragliflozin 50 mg or metformin 1000 mg for 24 weeks.

The study investigated the effect of casticin on the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) H322 cells and explored its molecular mechanism. Firstly, the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, and EdU assay were used to detect the effect of casticin on the proliferation capacity of H322 cells under different concentrations and treatment durations. Then, glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular pH, and oxygen consumption of H322 cells were measured before and after casticin treatment to analyze its impact on glycolysis in NSCLC H322 cells.

Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) remains a serious complication after percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI), with limited effective preventive strategies especially for diabetic patients. This study aimed to assess the effects of novel antidiabetic agents (NAD), i.e.

We sought to understand the spatially-anchored regulation and transition of endothelial and mesangial cells from health to injury in DKD. From 74 human kidney samples, an integrated multi-omics approach was leveraged to identify cellular niches, cell-cell communication, cell injury trajectories, and regulatory transcription factor (TF) networks in glomerular capillary endothelial (EC-GC) and mesangial cells.
