Decreased expression of hepatic glucokinase in type 2 diabetes.

Molecular metabolism

Haeusler RA, Camastra S, Astiarraga B, Nannipieri M, Anselmino M, Ferrannini E.
PMID: 25737948
Mol Metab. 2014 Dec 18;4(3):222-6. doi: 10.1016/j.molmet.2014.12.007. eCollection 2015 Mar.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Increased endogenous glucose production is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Evidence from animal models has suggested that a likely cause of this is increased mRNA expression of glucose 6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (encoded by G6PC, PCK1 and...

Diabetes is a complex metabolic disease that exposes patients to the deleterious effects of hyperglycemia on various organs. Achievement of normoglycemia with exogenous insulin treatment requires the use of high doses of hormone, which increases the risk of life-threatening...

Ingestion of a moderate high-sucrose diet results in glucose intolerance with reduced liver glucokinase activity and impaired glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion.

UNLABELLED: Aims/Introduction:  Excessive intake of sucrose can cause severe health issues, such as diabetes mellitus. In animal studies, consumption of a high-sucrose diet (SUC) has been shown to cause obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. However, several in vivo...

Polymorphisms in the GCKR are associated with serum lipid traits, the risk of coronary artery disease and ischemic stroke.

International journal of clinical and experimental medicine

Zhou YJ, Hong SC, Yin RX, Yang Q, Cao XL, Chen WX.
PMID: 26379859
Int J Clin Exp Med. 2015 Jul 15;8(7):10678-86. eCollection 2015.

The present study was to determine the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the glucokinase regulator gene (GCKR) and serum lipid levels, and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS). Genotypes of the...

World J Hepatol. 2014 Apr 27;6(4):217-25. doi: 10.4254/wjh.v6.i4.217.

One of the most common complications of childhood obesity is the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is the most common form of liver disease in children. NAFLD is defined by hepatic fat infiltration > 5% hepatocytes, as assessed...

Lack of glibenclamide response in a case of permanent neonatal diabetes caused by incomplete inactivation of glucokinase.

JIMD reports

BACKGROUND: Hypoglycaemic drugs that close the KATP channel have been tested in patients with permanent neonatal diabetes due to glucokinase mutations (PNDM-GCK). From the results obtained, it has been suggested that this treatment may be beneficial in patients carrying...

Respiration of Sugars in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea), Maize (Zea mays), and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii F-60 Chloroplasts with Emphasis on the Hexose Kinases.

Plant physiology

Singh KK, Chen C, Epstein DK, Gibbs M.
PMID: 12231848
Plant Physiol. 1993 Jun;102(2):587-593. doi: 10.1104/pp.102.2.587.

The role of hexokinase in carbohydrate degradation in isolated, intact chloroplasts was evaluated. This was accomplished by monitoring the evolution of 14CO2 from darkened spinach (Spinacia oleracea), maize (Zea mays) mesophyll, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplasts externally supplied with 14C-labeled...
