The increase in skeletal muscle glucose uptake during exercise results from a coordinated
increase in rates of glucose delivery (higher capillary perfusion), surface membrane glucose …

Skeletal muscle is a major glucose‐utilizing tissue in the absorptive state and the major
glucose transporter expressed in muscle in adulthood is GLUT4. GLUT4 expression is …

Abstract Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) is a mitochondrial membrane protein that participates in
mitochondrial fusion in mammalian cells and mutations in the Mfn2 gene cause Charcot …

Objective Brown and white adipose tissue exerts pleiotropic effects on systemic energy
metabolism in part by releasing endocrine factors. Neuregulin 4 (Nrg4) was recently …

Background Alterations in glucose metabolism and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)
constitute two important characteristics of carcinoma progression toward invasive cancer …

Neuregulins (NRGs) are protein ligands that act through ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases to
regulate tissue morphogenesis, plasticity, and adaptive responses to physiologic needs in …

Neuregulin (NRG)-1β has a prosurvival effect on cardiac myocytes via the
phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt pathway, but the physiological regulators of this system in …

Acute μ and κ opioids activate the ERK/MAPK phosphorylation cascade that represents an
integral part of the signaling pathway of growth factors in astrocytes. By this cross-talk …

Anthracyclines remain a mainstay of chemotherapy in spite of their well-recognized
cardiotoxicity. Recent experience with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and anthracycline therapy …

Our previous report demonstrated that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) promotes
translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in skeletal muscle. In this study, we …
