Molecular mechanism of GPCRs mediating metabolic responses – The role of adrenoceptors in glucose metabolism
Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake requires an intricate network of proteins including phosphoinositide 3-kinase, Akt and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), and is key to maintaining whole body glucose homeostasis. Dysfunction of insulin action causes diminished glucose uptake/utilization in insulin targ...
