Targeting hepatic glutaminase activity to ameliorate hyperglycemia
Nature Medicine 24, 518 (2018). doi:10.1038/nm.4514 Authors: Russell A Miller, Yuji Shi, Wenyun Lu, David A Pirman, Aditi Jatkar, Matthew Blatnik, Hong Wu, César Cárdenas, Min Wan, J Kevin Foskett, Junyoung O Park, Yiyi Zhang, William L Holland, Joshua D Rabinowitz & Morris J Birnbaum Glucagon levels increase under homeostatic, fasting conditions, promoting the release of glucose from the liver by accelerating the breakdown of glycogen (also known as glycogenolysis). Glucagon also enhances gluconeogenic flux, including from an increase in the hepatic consumption of amino acids. In type 2 diabetes, dys...
