Owing to its simplicity, sensitivity and precision, the method of Lowry, Rosebrough, Farr, and
Randall (1) is the most widely used procedure for the quantitative determination of protein …

The objective of this review is to outline existing artificial mitochondria transfer techniques
and to describe the future steps necessary to develop new therapeutic applications in …

It has previously been reported that exercise causes an increase in glucose uptake in
skeletal muscle and also an increase in 5'AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity. 5 …

Total GLUT4 content in skeletal muscle from individuals with type 2 diabetes is normal;
however, recent studies have demonstrated that translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma …

We report the first intracellular characterization of an endogenous nontransmembrane
protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP). Using affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies, we have …

The glucose transport activity of fat cells was assayed in a cell-free system. The activity was
solubilized and incorporated into egg-lecithin liposomes. The carrier-mediated glucose …

A major portion of insulin-mediated glucose uptake occurs via the translocation of GLUT 4
glucose transporter proteins from an intracellular depot to the plasma membrane. We have …

In obesity, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
(NIDDM), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defects in glucose transport system …

1. The hepatic concentration of several nucleotides and metabolites was measured during
the first few minutes after an intravenous load of fructose to mice. The first changes …

Selenate was found to have several insulin-like effects in rat adipocytes: stimulation of
glucose transport activity by translocation of two types of glucose transporters from …
