Muscle-specific Tug knockout mice study

Validation Score: 0.900 Price: $0.50 Diabetes/metabolic dysfunction Muscle-specific Tug knockout mice Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Validation experiment designed to validate causal mechanisms targeting Tug (Aspscr1) in Muscle-specific Tug knockout mice. Primary outcome: Glucose uptake and energy expenditure

Description

Generation and analysis of muscle-specific Tug (Aspscr1) knockout mice to investigate the role of TUG cleavage in glucose uptake and energy expenditure. The study examined how loss of TUG affects GLUT4 translocation, glucose uptake in muscle, and whole-body metabolic parameters including thermogenesis and lipid oxidation.
