Our latest work showing that GLUT4 exofacial antibodies can measure translocation in humans and rodent skeletal muscle fibers and is impaired in TBC1D4 KO rats despite rescued GLUT4 expression. Congrats Kaspar and co-authors. DM me for open access version: diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art...

Exofacial Epitope–Specific Antibodies Detect GLUT4 Translocation in Adult Human, Rat, and Mouse Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation to the plasma membrane determines glucose uptake in response to insulin and exercise and is dis

Our new paper in Redox Biol showing that insulin stimulation of skeletal muscle surprisingly does not detectably increase the ROS H2O2 using state-of-art methods in different models including humans, but in fact causes a selective reductive shift - enjoy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Revisiting Insulin-Stimulated Hydrogen Peroxide Dynamics Reveals a Cytosolic Reductive Shift in Skeletal Muscle

The intracellular redox state is crucial for insulin responses in peripheral tissues. Despite the longstanding belief that insulin signaling increases…

Curious about muscle metabolism? 🚴‍♂️ We reveal PanK4 as a conserved exercise target in muscle! 💪 PanK4 regulates lipid & glucose use likely via acetyl-CoA. We think PanK4 belongs alongside Akt, mTOR, AMPK, Rac1 & more as a key player in muscle energy homeostasis. #Metabolism #MyoBlue

Pantothenate kinase 4 controls skeletal muscle substrate metabolism - Nature Communications

Here, Miranda-Cervantes et al. identified pantothenate kinase 4 (PanK4) as a key regulator of muscle metabolism. Deleting PanK4 impairs fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake, leading to glucose into...
