In addition, he investigates the role
of glucose metabolism in cell proliferation and survival of cancer cells, and how it could be exploited for cancer therapy.
Moreover, measurement of fasting glucose concentrations within the normal range, particularly in childhood, will not necessarily provide a sensitive test for longer term
disturbances of glucose metabolism.
He cloned and characterized many of the genes that are key in the
regulation of glucose metabolism including insulin, glucagon, glucose transporters and many others.
People at risk for Alzheimer's disease who do more moderate - intensity physical activity, but not light - intensity physical activity, are more likely to have healthy
patterns of glucose metabolism in their brain, according to a new UW - Madison study.
«Our study showed one potential EDC, an agricultural fungicide called tolylfluanid (TF), led to metabolic changes in mice including accumulation of body fat,
disruption of glucose metabolism, and reduction of adipose insulin sensitivity.»
SIK3 phosphorylates and activates a key
enzyme of glucose metabolism called Glucose -6-phosphate dehydrogenase G6PD, which is an important regulator of cellular redox balance.
The constant interaction between fetus and mother, with potential future negative impact affecting the health of both, clearly demonstrates a health determinant neglect not only in the
field of glucose metabolism but also in the field of GDM and fetal sex.
A dose - dependent positive relationship was noticed between urinary phthalate metabolites and
parameters of glucose metabolism (fasting glucose and insulin resistance) in both sexes (180).
Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency has been found in the breed and glycogen storage disease type IV, an inherited
abnormality of glucose metabolism, is also seen in Norwegian Forest cats.
(23) Engaging in moderate - intensity physical activity promotes healthier
patterns of glucose metabolism in the brain and represents a useful strategy for preventing glycotoxic Alzheimer's disease.
While this mechanism is intended to help us adapt, the ongoing driving stress can lead to disordered eating and addictive behavior, along with reduced immune function, chronic inflammation,
impairment of glucose metabolism, and carbohydrate intolerance.
Furthermore, in the affected men the researchers observed an altered secretion of the intestinal hormones glucagon - like peptide - 1 (GLP - 1) and peptide YY (PYY), which contribute to the regulation
of the glucose metabolism or body weight and whose secretion is subject to a particular circadian rhythm.
«Careful selection and incorporation of low calorific natural sugar replacers into foods can lead to improved dietary intakes and control
of glucose metabolism, body weight gain, and diet - related illnesses such as diabetes.»
«Because these mice already process glucose efficiently, the actions of p75NTR on glucose transport indicate a direct role of this protein in the regulation
of glucose metabolism.»
A possible link between circadian clocks, regulation
of glucose metabolism, and melatonin signaling in the pancreas was indicated by genetic studies (255).
