How oligodendrocytes use fatty acid metabolism as an energy reserve to maintain axonal function and myelin stability when glucose is scarce, offering insights into neurodegenerative disease mechanisms ...

Enhanced glucose uptake in glial cells might help fight AD. In Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases, excess activation of glial cells causes neuroinflammation and damage to ...

Chronic exposure to hyperglycemia can lead to cellular dysfunction that may become irreversible over time, a process that is termed glucose toxicity. Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it ...

Researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have devised a battery powered by vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and glucose. Inspired by how human bodies break down glucose for energy using enzymes, the team ...

Natural daylight exposure during office hours improves glucose control and boosts fat oxidation in individuals with type 2 ...

Glutaminase 2 (GLS2) is a master regulator of glutaminolysis. GLS2 converts glutamine to glutamate, thereby playing a role in cellular energy production. GLS2 is abundant in the liver, and is also ...

Glucose is our body’s favorite fuel source. Your body stores extra glucose as glycogen to use when you need more energy. All parts of our body need energy to function. We get energy from carbohydrates ...
