In this study, we have demonstrated, using two independent normal podocyte cell lines, a previously unsuspected aspect of human podocyte biology: that differentiated podocytes are insulin responsive ...
Diabetic pregnancy results in several metabolic and hormonal disorders, both in the embryo and the fetus of different species, including humans. Insulin is a potent modulator of brain development and ...
To assess the effects and mechanisms of the action of resistin on basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in rat skeletal muscle cells. Rat myo-blasts (L6) were cultured and differentiated into ...
Using 2-DOG uptake assays, we found that two independent podocyte cell lines were each capable of increasing their glucose uptake by 90 and 105%, respectively, after 15 min of stimulation with 220 ...
