Comment Individuals with IGT and dT2D had lower cPLA2 transcription levels, suggesting reduced cPLA2 activity. As a result, a concomitant decrease in the concentration of arachidonic acid (AA), a product of cPLA2 activity, is expected. AA has been shown to inhibit glucose uptake by adipocytes in a mechanism that is probably insulin independent and that involves the GLUT-1 transporter. (cited information)
