Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Hexosamines as mediators of nutrient sensing and regulation in diabetes.
- Transgenic mice overexpressing the rate-limiting enzyme for hexosamine synthesis in skeletal muscle or adipose tissue exhibit total body insulin resistance.
- Insulin resistance of glycogen synthase mediated by o-linked N-acetylglucosamine.
- Activation of the hexosamine signaling pathway in adipose tissue results in decreased serum adiponectin and skeletal muscle insulin resistance.
- Oxidative stress, beta-cell apoptosis, and decreased insulin secretory capacity in mouse models of hemochromatosis.
- Cardiac expression of kinase-deficient 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase inhibits glycolysis, promotes hypertrophy, impairs myocyte function, and reduces insulin sensitivity.
- Adipocytes with increased hexosamine flux exhibit insulin resistance, increased glucose uptake, and increased synthesis and storage of lipid.
- Hexosamines regulate sensitivity of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in beta-cells.
- Chronic hexosamine flux stimulates fatty acid oxidation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase in adipocytes.
- Recipes for creating animal models of diabetic cardiovascular disease.
- Utility of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of parathyroid adenomas for localization before minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.
- PAS kinase is required for normal cellular energy balance.
- Increased glucose disposal and AMP-dependent kinase signaling in a mouse model of hemochromatosis.
- Glucose deprivation stimulates O-GlcNAc modification of proteins through up-regulation of O-linked N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase.
- Protein modification by O-linked GlcNAc reduces angiogenesis by inhibiting Akt activity in endothelial cells.
