View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects 1 in 6 veterans and is the leading cause of blindness, renal failure and non-traumatic loss of limb. Increased hepatic gluconeogenesis is the main cause of fasting hyperglycemia and contributes to postprandial hyperglycemia. Many attribute the increase in gluconeogenesis to increased transcription of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose 6- phosphate. However, previous studies by this lab demonstrated that hyperglycemia develops in humans with T2D and rodent... |
