JA Gonzalez, F Reimann, D Burdakov - The Journal of Physiology, 2009 - Physiological Soc Some of the neurones controlling sleep, appetite and hormone release act as specialized detectors
of ambient glucose. Their sugar sensing is conventionally thought to involve glucokinase-dependent
metabolism of glucose to ATP, which then alters membrane excitability by modulating ... Cited by 8 - Related articles - All 5 versions
GL Bakris, VA Fonseca, K Sharma, EM Wright - Kidney International, 2009 - nature.com The kidneys play a major role in the regulation of glucose in humans, reabsorbing 99% of the
plasma glucose that filters through the renal glomeruli tubules. The glucose transporter,
SGLT2, which is found primarily in the S1 segment of the proximal renal tubule, is ... Cited by 4 - Related articles - All 3 versions
C Le Foll, BG Irani, C Magnan, AA Dunn- … - American Journal of …, 2009 - Am Physiological Soc We assessed the mechanisms by which specialized hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus
(VMN) neurons utilize both glucose and long-chain fatty acids as signaling molecules to alter
their activity as a potential means of regulating energy homeostasis. Fura-2 calcium (Ca ... Cited by 3 - Related articles - All 3 versions
MA Castro, FA Beltran, S Brauchi, II … - Journal of …, 2009 - interscience.wiley.com In this review, we discuss a novel function of ascorbic acid in brain energetics. It has been proposed
that during glutamatergic synaptic activity neurons preferably consume lactate released from
glia. The key to this energetic coupling is the metabolic activation that occurs in astrocytes ... Related articles - All 4 versions
