High rT3 levels with low T3 levels lead to
reduced glucose transport into cells and reduced glucose utilization throughout the body.

If hexokinase activity is
reduced relative to
glucose transport activity in diabetes, one would predict a substantial increase in intracellular
glucose, whereas if
glucose transport activity is primary
reduced in diabetic cultures, we would expect a decreased intracellular
glucose concentration.
We found a
reduced intracellular
glucose content, indicative for a lowered
glucose transport activity, which is in agreement with our finding of a
reduced basal
glucose uptake in diabetic cultures.
The decreased
glucose transport in diabetic cultures will decrease the intracellular
glucose and G6P content, but because the GS activity is also
reduced, it is possible to obtain G6P concentrations that are nearly identical in control and type 2 diabetic cell cultures.
Anacardic acid, the active component in cashew nuts, stimulates
glucose transport, resulting in elevated
glucose uptake, thus
reducing the amount of sugar circulating in the bloodstream.
Resistance training has been shown to increase muscle mass,
reduce body mass index (BMI), improve insulin sensitivity, and increase
glucose transport (17,26,30).
