Muscle Glucose Transporters: Key Regulators of Glucose Homeostasis and Their Role in Metabolic Health and Disease
Author(s): Aarav Mehta*
Muscle Glucose Transporters (GLUTs) play an essential role in glucose homeostasis, particularly in skeletal muscles, which are major sites for glucose uptake and utilization. These transporters are proteins that facilitate glucose movement across cell membranes, enabling muscles to use glucose for energy production. This article provides an overview of muscle glucose transporters, their types, regulation mechanisms, roles in metabolic health, and their significance in conditions like insulin resistance and diabetes...
