The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) inhibitor, 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), induces myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells (2020)
Journal Article
Brearley, M. C., Daniel, Z. C., Loughna, P. T., Parr, T., & Brameld, J. M. (2020). The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) inhibitor, 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), induces myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells. Scientific Reports, 10, Article 22177. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-79324-9

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a gluconeogenic enzyme with a cytosolic (Pck1/PEPCK-C) and mitochondrial (Pck2/PEPCK-M) isoform. Here we investigate the effect of 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), a PEPCK inhibitor, on C2C12 muscle cells...

Leucine and mTORc1 act independently to regulate 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 myotubes (2020)
Journal Article
Yin, Q., Brameld, J. M., Parr, T., & Murton, A. J. (2020). Leucine and mTORc1 act independently to regulate 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 myotubes. Amino Acids, 52, 477–486. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00726-020-02829-0

© 2020, The Author(s). Chronic mTORc1 hyperactivation via obesity-induced hyperleucinaemia has been implicated in the development of insulin resistance, yet the direct impact of leucine on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in muscle cells remains unc...
