Researchers from Osaka University have discovered a link between the rare D-form of the amino acid alanine and the circadian clock's influence on glucose metabolism in the kidney. The study found that D-alanine regulates gluconeogenesis, a process that creates new glucose to maintain energy levels, and is mediated by the protein Cry2.
Researchers found that cold exposure increases the secretion of miR-378a-3p by brown adipose tissue, which stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis. This process is essential for regulating whole-body glucose homeostasis during cold stress.
Yale scientists have discovered the molecular mechanisms that trigger metabolic imbalance between glucose production and energy utilization in the liver. They found that a protein called INSP3R1 regulates both gluconeogenesis and fat oxidation in response to glucagon, providing new insights into glucagon biology.
Research reveals that trypanosomes use gluconeogenesis and glycerol metabolism to produce ATP and synthesize glucose, challenging the long-held assumption of exclusive reliance on glycolysis. This metabolic flexibility is essential for adaptation to environmental conditions and survival in mammalian host tissues.
Researchers describe the biological mechanisms behind protein's appetite-suppressing effects, identifying specific receptors involved in intestinal gluconeogenesis. This understanding paves the way for new avenues in obesity treatment by controlling fullness sensation over long periods.
A mutated protein combination is responsible for excessive sugar production in the liver, leading to high blood glucose levels. Researchers have identified PGC-1alpha and FOXO1 as key proteins that form a powerful switch for gluconeogenesis, and blocking their interaction may lead to effective diabetes treatment.
