Association between insulin resistance and the development of cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: It can be concluded that insulin resistance in the myocardium generates damage by at least three different mechanisms: (1) signal transduction alteration, (2) impaired regulation of substrate metabolism, and (3) altered delivery of substrates to theMyocardium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin C transporters

TL;DR: In humans, the maintenance of a low daily requirement of vitamin C is attained through an efficient system for the recycling of the vitamin involving the two families of vitaminC transporters.

Mechanistic Insights and Functional Determinants of the Transport Cycle of the Ascorbic Acid Transporter SVCT2: ACTIVATION BY SODIUM AND ABSOLUTE DEPENDENCE ON BIVALENT CATIONS

TL;DR: The data indicate that SVCT2 may switch between a number of states with characteristic properties, including an inactive conformation in the absence of Ca2+/Mg2+, and at least three active states can be envisioned, including a low affinity conformation at Na+ concentrations below 20 mm and two high affinity conformations at elevated Na+, whose Na+ cooperativity is modulated by ascorbic acid.
