Insulin resistance (IR) occurs from a combination of genetic and environmental factors and is considered the primary cause for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). It manifests as a reduced capacity of insulin sensitive tissues respond to normal levels of the hormone. In these tissues, glucose transportation in response to insulin occurs through GLUT4 (SLC2a4gene) and changes…
Insulin resistance results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors and may be considered the primary cause for the development of metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). It is characterized by a reduced ability of the insulin sensitive tissues to respond to normal levels of the hormone. In these tissues, glucose transport stimulated by insulin occurs th…
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by disruption in glycemic homeostasis, involving impaired insulin-induced glucose disposal. For that, reduced glucose transporter GLUT4, encoded by Slc2a4 gene, plays a fundamental role. Recent studies have proposed that estradiol (E2) is able to modulate Slc2a4 expression, through its nuclear receptors, the estrogen receptors ESR1/ESR2. It…
