Skeletal muscle is the primary tissue responsible for insulin-dependent glucose uptake in
vivo; therefore, glucose uptake by this tissue plays an important role in determining glycemia. …

The effect of continuous insulin stimulation on the rates of turnover and on the total cellular
contents of the glucose-transporter proteins GLUT1 and GLUT4 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was …

Targeting the renin-angiotensin system and optimizing tacrolimus exposure are both
postulated to improve outcomes in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) by preventing interstitial …

Rationale: Kidney transplantation has become standard of care for carefully selected patients
living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in …

In rat adipocytes, the insulin stimulation of the rate of glucose uptake is due, at least partially,
to the recruitment of glucose transporter proteins from an intracellular compartment to the …

Background BK polyomavirus virus ( BKP yV) screening and immunosuppression reduction
effectively prevent graft loss due to BKP yV‐associated nephropathy ( BKPVAN ) during the …

Background: Patients with kidney failure represent a major public health burden, and living
donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) is the best treatment option for these patients. Current …

Background: Living kidney transplantation (LKT) offers the best medical outcomes for organ
recipients. Historically, our centre had a low rate of LKT. In 2009, in an effort to increase …

UDP-galactose: N-acetylglucosamine beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase was partially purified
from rat liver Golgi membranes and rat serum. The kinetic parameters of the two enzymes …

Methods: This was a Canadian multicenter, prospective, open-label, controlled study in adult
de novo KTx recipients randomized in a 2x2 design to standard dose (0.15–0.20 mg/kg) or …
