The GLUT members belong to a family of glucose transporter proteins that facilitate glucose
transport across the cell membrane. The mammalian GLUT family consists of thirteen …

The chicken is an important agricultural animal and model for developmental biology,
immunology and virology. Excess fat accumulation continues to be a serious problem for the …

1. Glucose transporter (GLUT) proteins, one of which is the major insulin-responsive
transporter GLUT4, play a crucial role in cellular glucose uptake and glucose homeostasis in …

In order to evaluate the role of insulin in chicken, an insulin immuno-neutralization was
performed. Fed chickens received 1 or 3 iv injections of anti-insulin serum (2-h intervals) …

Glucose uptake across the plasma membrane in animal cells plays a crucial role in whole-
body glucose homeostasis. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in vivo in several …

Gene loss is one of the main drivers in the evolution of genomes and species. The
demonstration that a gene has been lost by pseudogenization is truly complete when one …

Growing evidence suggests that insulin interacts with both orexigenic and anorexigenic
peptides in the brain for the control of feeding behavior in mammals. However, the action of …

Krüppel-like transcription factor 7 (KLF7) promotes preadipocyte proliferation; however, its
target gene in this process has not yet been identified. Using KLF7 ChIP-seq analysis, we …

Starch is the most important energy source in corn-based diets for broiler chickens, however,
some proportion of dietary starch may be partially digested, leading to a decrease in feed …

Pituitary function was assessed before and after transsphenoidal hypophysectomy in 39
dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH). Anterior pituitary function was …
