Role of endothelial insulin signaling in regulation of glucose metabolism

Restoration of the insulin-induced eNOS phosphorylation in the endothelial cells completely reverses the reduction in the capillary recruitment and insulin delivery, and as a result, significantly restores glucose uptake by the skeletal muscle. In the present review, we describe the recent progress in research on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of endothelial insulin signaling in the regulation of insulin-induced glucose uptake by the skeletal muscle (Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders)
