4-Phenylbutyric Acid Increases GLUT4 Gene Expression through Suppression of HDAC5 but not Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Background: The chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) has been shown to relieve endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Therefore, it improves insulin sensitivity and promotes glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle. Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), as a major glucose transporter protein, play...
