摘要:
Methods and compositions (such as compounds, drugs, molecules, etc.) for regulating glucose homeostasis, for example for treating diabetes-related conditions such as hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. The methods and compositions herein may feature limiting hepatic mitochondrial uncoupling, decreasing hepatic GABA release, decreasing hepatic GABA synthesis, and/or maintaining hepatocyte membrane potential. More specifically, the methods and compositions herein may feature inhibitors for GABA synthesis and/or inhibitors for GABA release, e.g., inhibitors for GABA-T, BGT1 (GABA transporter), GAT2 (GABA transporter), M3R, etc. The present invention also features altering food intake by regulating GABA production or GABA release.
