Statins impair glucose uptake in human cells
OBJECTIVE Considering the increasing number of clinical observations indicating hyperglycemic effects of statins, this study was designed to measure the influence of statins on the uptake of glucose analogs by human cells derived from liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. DESIGN Flow cytometry and scintillation counting were used to measure the uptake of fluorescently labeled or tritiat...
متن کاملMyostatin regulates glucose uptake in BeWo cells.
Myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta superfamily, known for its ability to inhibit muscle growth. It can also regulate metabolism and glucose uptake in a number of tissues. To determine the mechanism of myostatin's effect on glucose uptake, we evaluated its actions using choriocarcinoma cell lines that are widely used as models for placental cells. Protein and mRNA...
متن کاملRegulation of glucose uptake in differentiated cells.
Glucose uptake into the cell is mediated by a family of glycosylated membrane proteins, called glucose transporters (GTs) that are able to facilitate passive hexose transfer across the lipid plasma membrane. The tissue-specific transporter isoforms generally differ in their affinity to the natural substrate D-glucose according to the specific functions of the respective organ. The mechanisms by...
متن کاملMEK inhibitors impair insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, insulin activates three major signaling cascades, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, the Cbl pathway, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Although PI3K and Cbl mediate insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by promoting the translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) to the plasma membrane, the MAPK pathway does not have a...
متن کاملRole of orFD Pseudomonas aeruginosa H103 Gene in Glucose Uptake
Background:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative non facultative bacterium and one of the members of normal flora in different sites of body in healthy humans.this bacterium can resist in fluids and hospital environments for a long time.Pseudomonas aeruginosa has two systems for glucose uptake:a low affinity oxidative pathway and a high affinity phosohorylative pathway.Although the role of ...
