As the principal tissue for insulin-stimulated glucose disposal, skeletal muscle is a primary
driver of whole-body glycemic control. Skeletal muscle also uniquely responds to muscle …

Obesity causes extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling which can develop into serious
pathology and fibrosis, having metabolic effects in insulin-sensitive tissues. The ECM …

Research conducted over the last 50 yr has provided insight into the mechanisms by which
insulin stimulates glucose transport across the skeletal muscle cell membrane Transport …

Cancer-associated bodyweight loss (cachexia) is a hallmark of many cancers and is
associated with decreased quality of life and increased mortality. Hepatic function can …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides a scaffold for cells, controlling biological processes
and providing structural as well as mechanical support to surrounding cells. Disruption of …

Whole‐body euglycaemia is partly maintained by two cellular processes that encourage
glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, the insulin‐and contraction‐stimulated pathways, with …

The majority of native cattle are taurine× indicine cattle of diverse phenotypes in the central
region of China. Sanjiang cattle, a typical breed in the central region, play a central role in …

Objective Increased deposition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in adipose tissue (AT)
during obesity contributes to insulin resistance. The integrin receptors transmit changes in …

Skeletal muscle is the main metabolic tissue responsible for glucose homeostasis in the
body. It is surrounded by the extracellular matrix (ECM) consisting of three layers …

Background This study investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
reported by previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to be associated with …
