New hepatic targets for glycaemic control in diabetes
Open accessAbstract
Type-2 diabetes is associated with impaired glucose clearance by the liver in the postprandial state, and with elevated glucose production in the post-absorptive state. New targets within the liver are currently being investigated for development of antihyperglycaemic drugs for type-2 diabetes. They include glucokinase, which catalyses the first step in glucose metabolism, the glucagon receptor, and enzymes of gluconeogenesis and/or glycogenolysis such as glucose 6-phosphatase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and glycogen phosphorylase. Preclinical studies with candidate drugs on animal models or cell-based assays suggest that these targets have the potential for pharmacological glycaemic control. Data from clinical studies is awaited. Further work is required for better understanding of the implications of targeting these sites in terms of possible side-effects or tachyphylaxis. The advantage of combined targeting of two or more sites within the liver for minimizing side-effects and tachyphylaxis caused by single-site targeting is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
