Interaction Information:

Comment The diabetes phenotype reveals itself through high sugar concentrations and reduced concentrations of the glucogenic amino acids glycine, serine and alanine in diabetic mice when compared with the wild-type mice. This observation may be explained by an impaired uptake of glucose by insulin-resistant cells, which induces hepatic gluconeogenesis, a process that then consumes glucogenic amino acids to initiate the production of the glucose precursors pyruvate and 3-phosphoglycerate.
