Researchers identify cellular regulator of glucose transport in the human body.

Researchers from UT Southwestern have gleaned a key cellular mechanism of how the body adjusts glucose levels, an important process that when abnormal can promote diabetes, cancer, and rare genetic diseases. The researchers determined that an enzyme called Protein Kinase C (PKC) can regulate whether more or less glucose should be transported into cells, serving as a kind of thermostat to ensure that proper levels … Continue reading Researchers identify cellular regulator of glucose transport in the human body.
