Enhanced glucose uptake in phenylbutyric acid-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes by Fakhoury, H.

“…Treating differentiated adipocytes with PBA did not alter their differentiation status, but decreased the leptin to adiponectin ratio. Conclusion: this study showed that PBA enhances adipocyte glucose uptake potentially through its effect on glucose transporter expression and/or trafficking via the PI3K signaling pathway; suggesting PBA as a possible candidate for the ancillary management of diabetes.…”
