To determine whether activation by insulin of glycogen synthase (GS), phosphofructokinase (PFK), or pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) in skeletal muscle regulates intracellular glucose metabolism, subjects were studied basally and during euglycemic insulin infusions of 12, 30, and 240 mU/m2 X min. Glucose disposal, oxidative and nonoxidative glucose metabolism were determined. GS, PFK, and PDH were ...

Nutrient availability influences an organism's life history with profound effects on metabolism and lifespan. The association between a healthy lifespan and metabolism is incompletely understood, but a central factor is glucose metabolism. Although glucose is an important cellular energy source, glucose restriction is associated with extended lifespan in simple animals and a reduced incidence o...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose was to assess the prevalence of disorders of glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in Japanese ischemic stroke patients with no history of diabetes by performing 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). METHODS We recruited 427 ischemic stroke patients (atherothrombotic infarction, n=220; lacunar infarction, n=125; cardioembolic infarction, n=82). OGT...

The review focused on outcomes related to obesity an diabetes as affected by sweeteners and included the following keywords: Food Intake, Subjective Appetite, Hedonics/Reward, Body Weight, Energy Glucose, Metabolism/Adiposity Markers.

BACKGROUND Although European guidelines advise oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) before or shortly after hospital discharge, data supporting this recommendation are inconclusive. We aimed to analyze whether disturbances in glucose metabolism diagnosed before hospital discharge in AMI patients represents a latent pre-existing condition or rathe...

OBJECTIVE To characterize and compare measurements of the posterior cingulate glucose metabolism, the hippocampal glucose metabolism, and hippocampal volume so as to distinguish cognitively normal, late-middle-aged persons with 2, 1, or 0 copies of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele, reflecting 3 levels of risk for late-onset Alzheimer disease. DESIGN Cross-sectional comparison of measurem...

INTRODUCTION The aim of present study was to profile the glucose-dependent and glutamine- dependent metabolism in pancreatic cancer. METHODS We performed Immunohistochemical staining of GLUT1, CAIX, BNIP3, p62, LC3, GLUD1, and GOT1. Based on the expression of metabolism-related proteins, the metabolic phenotypes of tumors were classified into two categories, including glucose- and glutamine-d...

The influence of atmosphere composition on the metabolism of Brochothrix thermosphacta was studied by analyzing the consumption of glucose and the production of ethanol, acetic and lactic acids, acetaldehyde, and diacetyl-acetoin under atmospheres containing different combinations of carbon dioxide and oxygen. When glucose was metabolized under oxygen-free atmospheres, lactic acid was one of th...
