Glucose metabolism gene variants modulate the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Long-term type 2 diabetes is a known risk factor for pancreatic cancer (PC). We hypothesized that genetic variants in glucose metabolism modify individual susceptibility to PC, especially those associated with diabetes. We retrospectively genotyped 26 single-nucleotide polymorphisms of 5 glucose metabolism genes: glucokinase (GCK), glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1), glucose ...
متن کاملA marker for munching
hen it comes to receptors for the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, many have been proposed, but none has been proven. Now, Hoffmann et al. (page 649) report that a receptor for phosphatidylserine (PS) is uniquely required for engulfment of apoptotic cells, whereas a large number of other proposed receptors may function only in attachment of the apoptotic cell to the phagocytic cell. PS is expos...
متن کاملAnchored phosphatases modulate glucose homeostasis
Endocrine release of insulin principally controls glucose homeostasis. Nutrient-induced exocytosis of insulin granules from pancreatic β-cells involves ion channels and mobilization of Ca(2+) and cyclic AMP (cAMP) signalling pathways. Whole-animal physiology, islet studies and live-β-cell imaging approaches reveal that ablation of the kinase/phosphatase anchoring protein AKAP150 impairs insulin...
متن کاملBranched short-chain fatty acids modulate glucose and lipid metabolism in primary adipocytes
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), e.g. acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid, generated through colonic fermentation of dietary fibers, have been shown to reach the systemic circulation at micromolar concentrations. Moreover, SCFAs have been conferred anti-obesity properties in both animal models and human subjects. Branched SCFAs (BSCFAs), e.g., isobutyric and isovaleric acid, are genera...
متن کاملThe concentration of phosphatidylethanolamine in mitochondria can modulate ATP production and glucose metabolism in mice.
Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) N-methyltransferase (PEMT) catalyzes the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the liver. Mice lacking PEMT are protected against diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. We investigated the role of PEMT in hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in chow-fed mice. A pyruvate tolerance test revealed that PEMT deficiency greatly attenuated gluconeogenesis. The reducti...
