Matrix metalloproteinase-2 as a novel regulator of glucose utilization by adipocytes

Abstract Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression on white adipocytes is critical for facilitating cellular uptake of blood glucose, failure of which promotes hyperglycemia. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a crucial role in remodeling the white adipose tissue (WAT) during obesity. MMPs have mu...
