Journal ArticleDOI

The Kinase LKB1 Mediates Glucose Homeostasis in Liver and Therapeutic Effects of Metformin

TL;DR: It is shown that metformin, one of the most widely prescribed type 2 diabetes therapeutics, requires LKB1 in the liver to lower blood glucose levels, and TORC2 is a critical target of L KB1/AMPK signals in the regulation of gluconeogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological significance of a peripheral tissue circadian clock

TL;DR: It is suggested that the liver clock contributes to homeostasis by driving a daily rhythm of hepatic glucose export that counterbalances the daily cycle of glucose ingestion resulting from the fasting–feeding cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

AMPK regulates the circadian clock by cryptochrome phosphorylation and degradation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the nutrient-responsive adenosine monophosphate–activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylates and destabilizes the clock component cryptochrome 1 (CRY1), which acts as chemical energy sensors in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryptochromes mediate rhythmic repression of the glucocorticoid receptor

TL;DR: Results reveal a specific mechanism through which cryptochromes couple the activity of clock and receptor target genes to complex genomic circuits underpinning normal metabolic homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

An intrinsic circadian clock of the pancreas is required for normal insulin release and glucose homeostasis in mice

TL;DR: The results provide evidence for a previously unrecognised molecular regulator of pancreatic glucose-sensing and/or insulin secretion of pancreas explants and beta cells are very likely to be one of the pancreatic cell types possessing an intrinsic clock.
