The Metabolic Effects of Astaxanthin
Insulin-Mediated Glucose Uptake Skeletal muscle accounts for 30-40% of body mass. As the major metabolic tissue of the body, it plays an important role in the whole-body metabolism and homeostasis. Skeletal muscle tissue is responsible for over 80% of insulin-induced glucose uptake in the postprandial state. The molecular mechanisms of insulin-mediated glucose transport are intensively studied.
