Exercise-stimulated signal transduction can restore glucose metabolism in insulin-resistant muscle through both acute activation of glucose transport and by improving insulin sensitivity for up to 48 ...

How oligodendrocytes use fatty acid metabolism as an energy reserve to maintain axonal function and myelin stability when glucose is scarce, offering insights into neurodegenerative disease mechanisms ...

Scientists have gleaned a key cellular mechanism of how the body adjusts glucose levels, an important process that when abnormal can promote diabetes, cancer, and rare genetic diseases. UT ...

Glucose, a simple carbohydrate, is a primary energy source for the body. It is derived from both simple and complex carbohydrates. Complex carbs are a healthier option because they release glucose ...

Exercise is widely recognized for its health benefits, including reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease. However, the molecular mechanisms behind how exercise may prevent or slow cancer have ...

Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM) is a rare metabolic condition. It occurs when a genetic variation makes the body unable to properly absorb the simple sugars glucose and galactose. Sugars are the ...

People living with diabetes should check their blood sugar regularly. There are currently two main options for monitoring glucose levels — continuous glucose monitoring devices and blood glucose ...
