Modulation of cellular glucose metabolism in human HepG2 cells by combinations of structurally related flavonoids

Scope: Insulin-regulated glucose metabolism in cells is critical for proper metabolic functioning, and insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. We performed a human study to assess the availability of structurally related dietary flavonols and tested their ability to affect cellular glucose upta...

Description
Summary:Scope: Insulin-regulated glucose metabolism in cells is critical for proper metabolic functioning, and insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. We performed a human study to assess the availability of structurally related dietary flavonols and tested their ability to affect cellular glucose uptake, metabolism, and glucose transporter gene expression in a liver HepG2 cell model.
