Elevation in hepatocyte G6P and downstream metabolites, with consequent liver Gck repression, is a potential contributing mechanism to the loss of GKA efficacy during chronic therapy. Cell metformin loads within the therapeutic range attenuate the effect of high glucose on G6P and on glucose-regulated gene expression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
