- What are the acute and chronic effects or glucagon and insulin?
- What role does adipose tissue play in...
- How come glut2 is said to be insulin independent if it senses the release of insulin to store glut2 in hepatocytes?
- I understand that glut4 has a Km similar to the concentration of glucose so it gets saturated fast but how come glucose influx can still occur if the glut4 receptors are...
