Research data from Hebrew University, Department of Pharmacology update understanding of biochemistry

Data detailed in "Selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors stimulate glucose transport in L6 myotubes in a protein kinase Cdelta-dependent manner" have been presented. According to a study from Jerusalem, Israel, "Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2; COX-2) augment the rate of hexose uptake in myotubes by recruiting glucose transporter-4 (GLUT-4) to the plasma membrane in an insulin-and AMPKalpha-independent manner [Alpert E, Gruzman A, Lardi-Studler B, Cohen G, Reich R, Sasson S. Cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2) inhibitors augment the rate of hexose transport in L6 myotubes in an insulin-and AMPKalpha-independent manner. Diabetologia...
