Interleukin-6 in combination with the interleukin-6 receptor stimulates glucose uptake in resting human skeletal muscle independently of insulin action

Aim: To examine if the physiological concentrations of both interleukin-6 (IL-6), in combination with IL-6 receptor (IL-6R), are able to stimulate glucose uptake in human skeletal muscle and to identify the associated signalling pathways. Methods: Skeletal muscle tissue (̃60mg) obtained from healthy...
