Additionally, iloprost, a PGI2 analog, was shown to increase insulin receptor density on cell membranes, increasing glucose uptake in human adipocytes. CR also reduces carbonylation of GLUT4, a modification that is detrimental to GLUT4 function.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>CR enhances insulin sensitivity by promoting PTGIS expression and stimulating the TUG cleavage pathway, leading to increased GLUT4 translocation to the cell surface and decreased GLUT4 carbonylation. These findings shed light on the complex molecular mechanisms through which CR favorably impacts insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":215,"journal":{"name":"Obesity","volume":"32 12","pages":"2286-2298"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142484517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
