Evidence for the importance of zinc for all immune cells and for mounting an efficient and
balanced immune response to various environmental stressors has been accumulating in …

Özet Zinc is essential in the regulation of a variety of physiological and biochemical events
in the organism. It plays a critical role in maintaining the cell membrane integrity, protein …

Distinct tissue-specific mechanisms mediate insulin action in fasting and postprandial states.
Previous genetic studies have largely focused on insulin resistance in the fasting state …

New components and functions of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) are still being
unravelled. The classical RAS as it looked in the middle 1970s consisted of circulating renin …

Zinc is an essential trace element crucial for the function of more than 300 enzymes and it is
important for cellular processes like cell division and apoptosis. Hence, the concentration of …

GLUT4 is an insulin-regulated glucose transporter that is responsible for insulin-regulated
glucose uptake into fat and muscle cells. In the absence of insulin, GLUT4 is mainly found in …

Precursors to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I–presented peptides with extra
NH2-terminal residues can be efficiently trimmed to mature epitopes in the endoplasmic …

Insulin resistance is instrumental in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and the
Insulin Resistance Syndrome. While insulin resistance involves decreased glucose transport …

Despite remarkable progress in dissecting the signaling pathways that are crucial for the
metabolic effects of insulin, the molecular basis for the specificity of its cellular actions is not …

Angiotensinogen, the precursor molecule for angiotensins I, II and III, and the enzymes
renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and aminopeptidases A and N may all be …
