The diagram illustrates the RNAkine-mediated glucose metabolic regulatory network involving various secreted organs, including pancreas, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver, which have ...
The liver and pancreas are the main actors in glucose metabolism, but not the only ones. Muscles, adipose tissue and the brain play different roles. However, the prize for the best new actor in ...
Researchers from Kumamoto University have identified a liver-derived protein, serine protease inhibitor A1 (SerpinA1), as a key regulator in combating obesity and enhancing glucose metabolism.
which causes glucose to move from the blood into the cells. Insulin targets liver and muscle cells, causing them to take up excess glucose and convert it to glycogen for storage. The glucose can ...
