The researchers said that in humans, muscles play a key role in clearing glucose from the bloodstream-a process normally controlled by insulin, which stimulates the muscle cells to import glucose by means of a system known as the GLUT4 glucose transporter.
These fibers are a rich source of GLUT4 receptors in the body.
AMP-activated protein kinase regulates GLUT4 transcription by phosphorylating histone deacetylase 5.
That means indinavir and its protease inhibitor cousins are blocking GLUT4 but not GLUT1.
Kennedy JW, Hirshman MF, Gervino EV, Ocel JV, Forse RA, Hoenig SJ, Aronson D, Goodyear LJ, Horton ES: Acute exercise induces GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle of normal human subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Ischemia induces translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane of cardiac myocytes.
The latter eventually produce the characteristic effects of insulin, for example, by promoting the movement of GLUT4 molecules to the cell surface.
After three weeks, mice that received the supplement experienced reduced blood glucose and beneficially increased levels of a glucose transporter protein, GLUT4.
